It has emerged that Chelsea have signed Demba Ba from Newcastle on three-and-a-half year deal after talks went well overnight and he will join up with his new team-mates at the end of the week according to Sky Sports sources.
The Senegal international is undergoing a medical with Rafa Benitez’s side after a release clause was triggered in his Newcastle contract once Chelsea offered £7million for him.
Ba was left out of the Magpies’ squad for their 2-1 home defeat to Everton on Wednesday, with manager Alan Pardew admitting afterwards that he was on his way to Stamford Bridge.
A deal between the Premier League rivals appears close to being finalised, with Benitez keen to add to his attacking options to ease the burden on Fernando Torres.

Chelsea have certainly done some good business in acquiring Ba and he will add to their fire-power at the club and considering he is one of the best strikers in the Premier League, him and Torres is a deadly combination.
