Besiktas striker Demba Ba has expressed his frustration over his time at Chelsea.
Ba, the major threat to Arsenal in their Champions League play-off first leg in Istanbul on Tuesday, scored 14 goals in 23 starts for Chelsea.
"Sometimes when you are at a club with a lot of big stars, the name counts for more than the statistics. Unfortunately, it was like that in my case," said the 29-year-old Senegal striker.
"But I am happy I moved from Newcastle to Chelsea and achieved what I did. I have lots of friends there. Eden Hazard is one of my best friends, I am close to Branislav Ivanovic, too. All my wishes are for them to win the league."
