Senegalese international Demba Ba has completed
his move to Chelsea from Newcastle. The Blues agreed a fee with Newcastle for Ba after making
an official bid on Wednesday.

Ba has a release clause, understood to be £7.5m,
which was triggered by the European champions.
A statement on Newcastle’s website on Wednesday
read: “Newcastle United can confirm that Chelsea
Football Club has made an official offer for Demba Ba which has triggered the release clause in the player’s contract. The club has given the player permission to speak to Chelsea and therefore he will not be included in the squad for tonight’s (Wednesday’s) game against Everton.”

As at 9pm on Wednesday, the London club had
finalised the discussion on personal terms with the
player. Preliminary discussions between representatives of the player and Chelsea had earlier broken up with the deal on the table nowhere near the Senegal international’s expectations. Ba’s representatives
indicated that the striker did not expect to end up in west London come the end of the January transfer window following the failed talks.

Manager Rafael Benitez said on Wednesday, “You can always improve things, especially when you have Injuries, and we lose two players to the Africa Cup of Nations. Obviously we need bodies but I am really pleased with the squad.”

While the initial fee of £7.5m for a player with Ba’s
track record, including 13 league goals this season,
appears a bargain, the true cost of the deal could be much more. The Independent revealed that the total could be closer to £30m once agent fees of £5m and a four-year deal worth £80,000 a week are factored in.

Good luck demba BA, but how are you sure you will succeed in Chelsea?

He is better than torres

Yay! I just dey dance etighi, Azonto and gangnam style. Demba Ba's goals will guarantee Chelsea's place in d top 4 at the end of d season.
On the flip side though, he will be ineligible for CFC's Europa League campaign because he has already made an appearance for Newcastle in d competition.

Chelsea wil kil his carrier.

Abdul Adam56: Chelsea wil kil his carrier.

I don't think so. Do u mean 'career' instead of 'carrier'?
