West Bromwich Albion to make lucrative offer to Demba Ba?

West Bromwich Albion are reportedly keen to bring Besiktas striker Demba Ba back to the Premier League.

The former Newcastle United and Chelsea striker has been linked with a move to Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua, who have reportedly offered £10m.

However, Ba is thought to have told Besiktas that he wants to return to England.

Ba joined the Turkish side from Chelsea last summer and enjoyed a productive first season, scoring 23 goals in 39 appearances.

West Brom are prepared to make Ba their highest-paid player, according to the Birmingham Mail.

It has been suggested that the Senegalese frontman could demand a £70,000-per-week salary at The Hawthorns.

Ba has also played for West Ham United and Hoffenheim.
