Ba: Swiss club Lugano sign former Chelsea and Besiktas striker

The 36-year-old is set to continue his career in Switzerland after stints in England, Turkey and Germany

Swiss Super League club Lugano have confirmed the signing of former Chelsea and Besiktas striker Demba Ba on a one-year deal.

The Senegal international has been a free agent since April when he was released by Turkish Super Lig club Istanbul Basaksehir because of his lack of playing time.

Ba joins Nigeria goalkeeper Sebastian Osigwe at the Cornaredo Stadium and he is expected to strengthen the attacking options in Abel Braga's side.
