The Magpies star striker may have possibly hinted at a move away from St. James' Park by saying that a move to Arsenal is the sort of switch that 'makes you dream'.
Newcastle United striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Demba-Ba-c10812, is currently the club’s top goalscorer, and is currently third on the Premier League leading goalscorer chart. The Senegalese international has thus far netted an impressive 11 goals in 17 English top flight games, with only Michu and Robin Van Persie ahead of him with 12 hits each.
The prolific forward has emerged as one of the league's most dangerous and sought-after strikers. His move to Tyneside saw him rise in prominence and become one of the league's top strikers.
Ba was influential in Newcastle's fifth place finish last season, netting an impressive 16 goals in 34 league appearances.
The 27-year-old has always been the subject of transfer speculation ever since he joined the Magpies from West Ham United in the summer of 2011. It is understood that the talented hit-man’s contract has a release clause, which can be activated at any time during transfer season.
Recent reports in English media indicated that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 have set their sights on luring the Senegalese attacker to Emirates Stadium in the upcoming January transfer window.
And the former West Ham United forward has open heartedly admitted that only hearing about joining the Gunners makes you dream, though, he dismissed all reports that were claiming that the striker would be joining Arsene Wenger’s side in the winter transfer market.
“Arsenal are one of these teams who make you dream. I have nothing to say about the speculation. Nothing is about to happen. The press know Arsenal need another striker and also know about my release clause, and make up their own mind about it”, Ba was quoted as saying to the media.
Arsenal have been struggling in front of the goal since the start of the ongoing 2012/13 campaign. Olivier Giroud, who joined the Gunners earlier this year in the summer transfer window, has failed to meet expectations thus far, while http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lukas-Podolski-c22896 has also proven unthreatening to the oppositions.
Ba has already proven himself in the highest echelons of English football, and his arrival at Emirates Stadium would certainly add much needed flare to the Gunners’ front-line.
