Demba Ba: 'Arsenal is tempting'

Demba Ba has said that a move to Arsenal in the January transfer window could be tempting.

The Senegal striker has a £7.5m buy-out clause in his Newcastle United contract which could see him leave St James' Park.

The 27-year-old told Sky Sports News: "It is true that Arsenal are among the clubs that are tempting.

"Journalists are doing their job, they know Arsenal need strikers and they know I have a clause in my contract so they start speculating."

Ba has 11 goals for the Magpies so far this season.
