​Trabzonspor boss Newton uses Chelsea connection to sign Lewis Baker

Chelsea midfielder Lewis Baker is heading to Turkey on loan.

Super Lig club Trabzonspor have agreed a loan deal that will see Baker play for the club for the rest of the season.

There is also an option to buy within the agreement, per Goal.com.

The 25-year-old knows Trabzonspor head coach Eddie Newton, who both played and worked at Chelsea.

Baker will be hoping the move can kick start a career that has seen him move on loan seven times.

He was not in manager Frank Lampard's plans at Chelsea this season.
