Chelsea forward Demba Ba eyes Turkish move
Chelsea striker Demba Ba is hopeful that a deal can be wrapped up that will see him complete a move to the Turkish league. Both Galatasaray and Besiktas are rumoured to have made enquiries for the burly forward.
Demba Ba, who is currently third choice striker at the Blues behind the likes of Fernando Torres, is eagerly anticipating a transfer to another division with Chelsea believed to be ready to sell the player as part of a cut price deal.
Arsenal were believed to have come very close to signing Ba on loan in this summer just passed but Jose Mourinho blocked a deal at the very last minute leaving the Gunners with no option but to keep backup forward Nicklas Bendtner. Ba was reportedly very disappointed with Chelsea after a transfer to the Gunners fell through and is now hoping his current club will repay the favour and help push through a transfer to Turkey.
Ba is available on loan but Chelsea are believed to prefer a permanent transfer for the striker so that they can find a replacement. Saido Berahino of West Bromwich Albion has today been linked with a move to Chelsea as a possible replacement for Ba.
