Demba Ba blasts Newcastle United style of play

Demba Ba has admitted that he is getting frustrated with life at Newcastle United.

The Senegalese striker, who has hinted that he would be interested in a move to Arsenal, hit out at the style of play adopted by Magpies manager Alan Pardew.

"I'm not happy when the team does not create anything," Ba told Canal+.

"Fans come to see beautiful games with beautiful actions and not long balls from the goalkeeper to the striker."

Ba has scored 11 goals in 17 games this season.
