Ba not Dembating Newcastle

Newcastle United have dismissed reports that Demba Ba is set to leave the club for Turkish giants Galatasaray.

The Senegal international has been heavily linked with a move away from the Magpies since January were speculation was rife of a release clause inserted in his contract.

Rumours were led to believe that the highly rated striker could leave St James’ Park for as little as £7m.

The news sparked a transfer race between the likes of Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal as they all looked to take on the powerful front-man.

However, no move materialised over the winter and it had been rumoured the Galatasaray were leading the race for Ba.

The Magpies have denied such speculation regarding the former West Ham United and Hoffenheim being linked with a move to Turkey.
