Zenit St Petersburg receive tasty offer to re-name themselves ‘Zenit Burger King’

Oh, football, with your weird and wonderful ways.
Russian side Zenit St Petersburg have reportedly been offered a whopper offer of €6.8million to change their name to Zenit Burger King.
Yes, you read that correctly.
The multi-national fast food chain have offered the Russian Premier League side the 500million roubles sum for the club's naming rights, according to reports in Russian media.
A letter was posted on Twitter showing some of the purported details of the deal, which is surely unlikely to happen.

What next, KFC Bournemouth? You're welcome, people.
Zenit are currently lying fourth in the Russian Premier League, having gained nine points from their opening five matches.
But will they be KINGS come the end of the season?
OK, enough now.
