Magpie striker linked to Man United

Newcastle Ace striker Demba Ba has been on fire since joining the Geordie side on a free transfer last season from West Ham.

So far this season he has racked up 15 goals two of them against the team that wants him Manchester United..

United are not alone in showing interest in the 26-year-old Senegal International who is now away training with his country in preparation for the African Nations Cup. Arsenal, Chelsea, Tottenham, and Paris St. Germain are also testing the waters.

The team that represents Ba has claimed that there is interest in the player, but no offers have been put on the table yet.

“A lot of clubs are calling for Demba. At this moment we are doing it [transfer negotiations] with his brother, before we did it alone and now we do it with his brother,” Doorn told the IBTimes UK.

“Obviously he is doing very well at Newcastle, he’s not injured and a lot of clubs are showing interest, but there is nothing concrete at this moment.

“It is true Manchester United, it’s true, but nothing concrete.

“No manager [has] called me and said, ‘Armand, can we sit down’ and everybody is asking how much his release clause is, but nothing concrete.

“There is a clause, but it is not simple. Newcastle knew when they signed him that it was in his last [contract].

“PSG did show some interest, maybe more concrete too, but this is because I know there are a lot of new people on the board there and a lot of people know Demba already, since he was young.

“So it is easier for them to talk to the brother, to the family and yes there is a possibility, but again, there is nothing concrete. We haven’t sat down with anybody yet.”
