London - Newcastle United on Friday completed the signing of Senegal forward Demba Ba.
The 26-year-old, who scored seven goals in 13 games for West Ham United last season, joins a day after midfielder Kevin Nolan travelled in the opposite direction.

'Moreover he has a great passion to play for Newcastle United.'
