Demba Ba set to complete move to Chelsea FC.
Senegalese international Demba Ba is currently in talks with English Champions Chelsea FC after Newcastle confirmed that
Chelsea has matched the valuation (£7m) in Ba’s contract.
As a result
of the meeting, the 27-year-old did not feature for Newcastle in Wednesday’s match
against Everton.
Newcastle issued out a statement saying:
"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 FC and therefore he will not be included in the squad for tonight's
game against Everton."
However before the move, Chelsea insists on Ba taking a
medical at the club. The Senegal striker did not undergo the procedure before
he joined Newcastle in the summer of 2011 due to the condition of his right
knee and he had failed a medical in January of that year, before a proposed
transfer to Stoke City, when the joint was thoroughly examined. Instead he
joined West Ham United in the same winter window.
Even with preexisting condition, Demba still gave an
impressive performance at Newcastle, he scored 29 times in 51 Premier League
starts and was a fans' favorite before his sudden desire to leave.
