The ex-Sheffield Wednesday, MK Dons, Vitesse Arnhem, and Middlesbrough loanee will be looking to revitalise his career having fallen out of favour at Boro under Tony Pulis last term.

Baker is renowned for his ability from set-pieces and was prolific in the Eredivise with Vitesse, winning the KNVB Cup during his time with the Dutch club.

He is, though, yet to make a Premier League appearance for parent club Chelsea.
