Ghana
Rahman began his career at Dreams FC of the Ghana Division Two. After impressive performances, he was then transferred on loan to Asante Kotoko of the Ghanaian Premier League for one season.
For the 2012 season, Rahman was a finalist for the league's Discovery of the Year Award, eventually losing to Joshua Oniku. After becoming a sought after player during his time with the Kumasi-based club, serious enquiries were made about the player by Manchester City and Arsenal of the Premier League and Parma of Serie A.
Germany
However, Rahman eventually signed with the newly promoted SpVgg Greuther Furth in the Bundesliga on 12 June 2012. Rahman stated that his decision to join Furth was because the club offered, "the best conditions in which to develop my career." In the derby against 1. FC Nurnberg on 11 August 2014 he scored his first two goals for Furth in a 5–1 home victory. The next day he signed with FC Augsburg of the same division.
Chelsea
On 16 August 2015, Rahman signed for Chelsea on a five-year deal for an undisclosed fee, reported to be an initial £14 million, rising to a potential fee of almost £22 million. He made his debut on 23 September in the third round of the League Cup, playing the full 90 minutes of a 4–1 win away to League One club Walsall. He made his Premier League debut in a 2–0 win over Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge on 17 October.
International career
Rahman played every minute of Ghana's campaign at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in Equatorial Guinea, providing the cross from which Andre Ayew headed in the winner against South Africa to win Group C. In the final against the Ivory Coast, Rahman scored in the penalty shootout in which his team lost 9–8.
Personal life
Rahman has "Baba" on the back of his jersey, the name of his Chelsea-supporting father.
