Chelsea Transfer News: Demba Ba Officially Signs, Will Wear Number 29 Shirt
Demba Ba completes his move to Chelsea
"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. "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."Ba is the joint-third highest goalscorer in the Premier league so far this season with 13 goals so far. He was Newcastle's top goalscorer last season after leaving relegated West Ham, and made almost 60 appearances for the Magpies. His move to the current European Champions completes a dramatic reversal of fortunes for his career. He emeged from the lower reaches of French football having played for obscure third division side Rouen before moving to Mouscron in the Belgian top flight. He then moved to German side Hoffenheim, and was later linked with moves to Stuttgart and Stoke City in 2011, but failed a medical with both sides which almost derailed his career.
