Former Chelsea Forward Demba Ba Completes Istanbul Basaksehir Transfer

Istanbul Basaksehir have added yet another former Premier League player to their ranks, with ex-Chelsea man Demba Ba completing a loan move on Tuesday.

The Turkish Super Lig leaders announced the deal with an odd video:

According to BBC Sport, Ba's move is a loan deal until the end of the season. The 33-year-old had been on the books at Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua.

Ba will join a squad that already contains the likes of Robinho, Gael Clichy and Emmanuel Adbayor. Arda Turan and Gokhan Inler are also part of the ambitious team looking for their first-ever domestic title.
