Demba Ba- Chelsea to West Ham
Ba has had a very short spell at Chelsea, only signing for the club in the January transfer window. The striker has had some success at Stamford Bridge, scoring some wonderful goals, most notably in the FA Cup semi final against Manchester City. However, with Jose Mourinho returning to Chelsea this summer, Ba’s time at the club could well be up. Mourinho wants to sign a quality striker this summer to push Chelsea up towards the top of the Premier League table, meaning their won’t be many opportunities for Ba to play in the first team next season. For a player who was playing regularly at Newcastle, sitting on the bench will be very difficult to take for Ba. The striker will probably leave the club and his most likely destination is thought to be a move to West Ham. Hammers manager Sam Allardyce is looking for a striker to partner Andy Carroll up front and he has identified Ba as the perfect player to play alongside Carroll. However, Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala are reportedly also interested and could offer Ba wages well in excess of what West Ham could offer him.
