On Friday afternoon, on their official website, Chelsea Football Club announced that they have acquired the forward Demba Ba from Newcastle United.
The Senegalese player defended the "Magpies" colors for 18 months, and he has now signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with the "Blues", and will be able to help the team in tomorrow's FA Cup match against Southampton.
The acquisition of this striker cost the club's owner Roman Abramovich just over 7 million pounds, and the player will wear the jersey with number 29.
"It's great to be here, I am happy and proud to represent this club," said the 27-year-old footballer.
"It was important to resolve my future with Newcastle United as soon as possible, and now it's time to move on. The money received by the Magpies can be used to acquire another player. Now I am here, all that's left is to settle in.
"When a club that has won the Champions League wants to acquire you, the decision is not difficult," Ba said about his move to the "Blues".
