CSKA Moscow triggered anger in a social media post announcing a signing
Russian Premier League giants CSKA Moscow have caused outrage online through a derogatory post which announced new Turkish signing Yusuf Yazici.
Currently fourth in the table and eight points behind leaders Zenit, the Moscow club has signed Yazici on loan from French club Lille with an option to buy the attacking midfielder permanently if all goes well.
Through no fault of his own, however, life in Russia has gotten off to a rocky start for the Turkey international.

When announcing his capture, the CSKA social media account posted a mock set of private messages between the player and his new employers.
A number of them go unanswered by the 24-year-old, who is greeted and asked questions such as “where are you?” then told “we are ready to sign the contract”.
Once CSKA writes: “Yusuf, this is Russia, we have a lot of Natashas here,” though, the Turk is shown as responding: “Five minutes, I’m on my way!”
