Striker Demba Ba has completed his move from Chelsea to Besiktas.

The club confirmed the 29 year old's departure and said on Twitter: “Thank you Demba Ba, and best of luck for the future.”

The Turkish club claim the fee to sign the Senegalese international is worth £4.7million.

Besiktas announced that Ba will now link up with manager and ex-West Ham defender Slaven Bilic at their pre-season training camp.

“I've had a lot of positive feedback about Besiktas and Istanbul from my Senegalese friends in Turkey," said Ba.

“To play in a Muslim country and in a new stadium is definitely very exciting. I know what my coach Bilic expects from me.

“Since Besiktas fans like hard-working and spirited players, I will give everything I've got in order to not disappoint them.”

Ba was Jose Mourinho’s third-choice frontman last season after finding himself behind Samuel Eto’o and Fernando Torres in the Stamford Bridge pecking order.
