Chelsea Sign Newcastle United Striker Demba Ba: Forward Signs Three & Half Year

Newcastle striker Demba Ba has agreed to join Chelsea on a three-and-a-half-year contract, Sky Sports sources understand.

The Senegal international is undergoing a medical with Rafa Benitez’s side after a release clause was triggered in his Newcastle contract once Chelsea offered £7million for him.

Ba was left out of the Magpies’ squad for their 2-1 home defeat to Everton on Wednesday, with manager Alan Pardew admitting afterwards that he was on his way to Stamford Bridge.
