Former Chelsea and Cameroon defender Geremi Njitap wants Ghana defender Baba Rahman to fight for a place at the club instead of caving in to pressure, saying '... he should keep his head high and fight one."

The Ghana defender has not been overly impressive after joining the London giants, necessitating a loan move to Schalke 04 last season.

Rahman is reported to be going on loan again at the Bundesliga side for the coming season and Njitap believes it is time for him to fight for a regular please in the Blues.

"He still has to continue to train hard and must be strong. Many footballers coil in their career when things doesn't go well.

"But instead of keeping his shin down, he must keep it up and continue to work hard to wait for his opportunity and make good use of it, " Njitap told Ghanasoccernet.com during the FIFPro Africa Division Annual Congress in Accra.

"When the chance comes, he must try to do what he does better, playing football and try to play well," he added.

Njitap, a former Real Madrid player also played for Chelsea from 2003 to 2007 and is popularly with his technique and free kick expertise.
