Chelsea bid Demba good-Ba

Istanbul - Turkish club Besiktas says it has finalised a deal with Chelsea for Senegalese striker Demba Ba's move to Istanbul.

Besiktas said on Friday it would pay Chelsea 6 million in five installments until 2026, under the deal.

Ba, who agreed to a four-year contract, will get 2.5 million per season and an additional 10 000 per game.

The striker underwent a medical in Istanbul this week, and immediately joined his new team-mates at a training camp in Leeds, England.

Ba failed to establish himself at Chelsea after productive spells at Hoffenheim and Newcastle.
