Hammers striker joins Magpies
Newcastle manager Alan Pardew has made his second summer transfer breakthrough by finally landing Senegal striker Demba Ba.
The 26-year-old former West Ham frontman’s move to St James’ Park was rubber-stamped this afternoon, the Barclays Premier League club have confirmed.
The arrival of Ba, who scored seven times in 13 appearances for the Hammers during the second half of last season, comes 24 hours after Magpies skipper Kevin Nolan headed for Upton Park in a deal believed to be worth in the region of £4m.
