Baba Rahman
Defender · PAOK Salonika
Baba Rahman, the Ghana left-back now in his fourth season at PAOK, came off the bench on 20 August 2026 to head an 80th-minute equaliser against SK Brann in the UEFA Conference League play-off first leg.
Career
A Tamale-born left-back with 55 Ghana caps, Rahman has been a PAOK regular since 2023 after earlier spells that included Reading. Playmakerstats records 44 games/6 goals (2023-24), 46/8 (2024-25) and 47/3 (2025-26) for PAOK, plus three Europa League qualifying appearances in 2026-27 before the Conference League tie.
On 20 August 2026 PAOK's own account posted 'Goal! Baba strikes!' as he headed in from a Lucé corner in the 80th minute to make it 1–1 against SK Brann in the Conference League play-off first leg, a goal also reported by in.gr and KickGH.
How they play
A left-footed attacking full-back who contributes goals from set pieces — the Brann equaliser was a header from a corner — rather than a stay-at-home full-back.
Where they are now
Still at PAOK. The Brann tie was the first leg of a Conference League play-off on 20 August 2026; his PAOK contract is listed through June 2026 on Playmakerstats; his 2026-27 status is unconfirmed there, though he is in the matchday squad now.
