Ba returns to Turkey for the third time

NAMPA
Former Senegal and Chelsea striker Demba Ba seems to have a penchant for playing his football in Turkey.

News has just emerged that Ba is going back to that country for the third time in his career to play for Istanbul Basaksehir.

Ba, who was born in France and is now 34, has joined a team who are leading the League and is on loan from his Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua.

His connections with Turkey started when he joined Besiktas and was then transferred to Goztepe.

As far as his international career is concerned, Ba has not played for Senegal since a friendly in 2015, after he had missed out on that year's Africa Cup of Nations squad.

At his new Turkish club, Ba will have a familiar face beside him in the attack in the enigmatic Togo striker Emmanuel Adebayor, another former English Premier League player.
