Demba Ba has been given the No 9 shirt by his new club Besiktas after completing a move from Chelsea for a fee of around £8million.
The striker flew to Istanbul on Wednesday morning, before being unveiled by the Turkish giants in the afternoon.
The 29-year-old tweeted a message in Turkish saying, 'I'm here @Besiktas!', and shortly after he was unveiled with the club's No 9 shirt.
'The interest shown by the fans and the new stadium project won me over,' said the Senegalese striker.
'I'm very happy to be here, all that is left is a few formalities, I will undergo a medical and sign the contract.
'I am excited to be here and can't wait to start playing.
'I want to showcase my talent to the fans as soon as possible, this is a huge club and I want to become a part of it.
'I want to thank the fans for their warm welcome and I am sure we are going to establish a great relationship.'
