Demba Ba finally completes move to chelsea sealing a three and a half year contract for a fee assumed to be around £7.5m. The striker, who scored 29 goals in 54 league
appearances during his time on Tyneside, will wear the No 29 shirt at
Stamford Bridge. The club confirmed this on its website saying:
Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Demba Ba for an undisclosed fee.
The Senegal international moves to Stamford Bridge following an
18-month spell with Newcastle United, and has signed a
three-and-a-half-year contract with the Blues. He will be eligible for selection for tomorrow's FA Cup match at
Southampton, and the Capital One Cup semi-final against Swansea, but
cannot play for us in the Europa League this season having appeared in
the competition for Newcastle. He will wear the no. 29 shirt.
'It feels good to be here, I'm very happy and very proud,' Ba says.
'It was important for me, and for Newcastle, to get my future sorted
and now we can move on. Now they have the whole month to buy someone and
for me as well, the sooner the better. Now I am here I just need to get
settled in.
'When the club who won the Champions League wants you, the decision
is very easy. This club is massive and that's something that helped the
decision a lot. It was not a hard one.'
