Chelsea will target Newcastle United’s goal scoring machine, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Demba-Ba-c10812 in summer as the Blues look to add new faces to the squad, at the end of the current season.
According to reports, Chelsea could off load veteran striker, Didier Drogba and replace him with Ba.
The 26 year old player from Senegal has made 27 appearances for Newcastle this season and has scored 16 times. The Blues, who have had a difficult current season, will look to land the prolific striker at Stamford Bridge as the club’s billionaire owner,
Roman Abramovich is expected to flash the chequebook in summer.
However, the player has got a release clause in his contract which is believed to be close to 10 million pounds. The French born, Senegalese International signed a three year agreement with the Magpies in June, 2011. Before that, he played for West Ham United
where he scored 7 goals in 13 appearances.
He scored hat-tricks against Blackburn http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rovers-c40385 and Stoke City in the earlier part of the season and became the Premier League Player of the month in December. He was also instrumental in the Magpies 3-0 home win against league leaders, Manchester United.
He scored Newcastle’s first goal in that match and helped his side secure their first victory against the Red Devils in more than a decade.
Ba left Newcastle in January to feature in the African Cup of Nations, where he represented http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Senegal-c3001 in the competition. However, his team ended up in the bottom of the table and he returned for club duty on February, 2012.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786 striker, has struggled to live up to his expectations, with
the Spanish scoring only seven goals for his club since his move to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea are currently fifth in the Premier League table and are fighting for a place in the Champions League next season. The West London side won the Premier League title in the 2009/2010 season when they edged Manchester United by a single point.
However, the Blues who sacked Andre Villas Boas earlier, are looking to re-build the side as they aim to part ways with the old guard. Besides Ba, Chelsea are also looking to sign his Newcastle team mates, Tyneside, midfielder Cheikh Tiote in summer.
The club’s owner has also set Porto striker, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Edinson-Cavani-c11955 as the other potential targets for the summer.
