Chelsea have completed the signing of Newcastle striker Demba Ba on a three and a half year deal.
Ba joins the European Champions on an undisclosed fee but is believed to be in the region of £7 million, as that was his buyout clause. The forward, who scored 29 goals in 54 league appearances for Newcastle will wear the number 29 shirt whilst playing for the Stamford Bride outfit.
He told the Chelsea website: "It feels good to be here, I'm very happy and very proud". "When the club who won the Champions League wants you, the decision is very easy". "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".
