      Aston Villa looking to go Ba?

      One hopes Paul Lambert hasn't got his Bas mixed up.

      Aston Villa fans reading this may be thinking the man in question is Newcastle's hotshot forward Demba Ba. Instead, the Daily Mail are reporting it is actually Porto central-defender Abdoulaye Ba, also of Senegal.

      Don't scratch your eyes out too much though Villa fans, as Ba is said to have impressed the Porto hierarchy to the extent that they are unwilling to let him go on a permanent deal.

      However, at 6ft 6in, it may also not surprise many that Sam Allardyce and West Ham retain a floating interest in the defender (or striker, considering how Christopher Samba was deployed by Allardyce at Blackburn!)
