Russian club Zenit St Petersburg have received a whopping offer from fast food giants Burger King to change their name to "Zenit Burger King".
Russian journalist Artur Petrosyan has reported that Burger King have offered Zenit a multi-million pound offer to complete what would be one of the most bizarre name changes in world football.
Zenit have received a €6.8-million offer from @BurgerKing to change team's name to "Zenit Burger King".

Huge commercial deals are commonplace in football these days, but this name-change proposal of the four-time Russian Premier League winners is surely a step too far.

The "Hull City Tigers" proposal doesn't seem so bad all of a sudden...
Football has well and truly gone mad.
