Demba Ba wants chance at Chelsea under Jose Mourinho

Chelsea striker Demba Ba is determined to remain at Stamford Bridge following rumours that he could be shown the door by new manager Jose Mourinho.

The 28-year-old has been linked with an exit from the club that he joined from Newcastle United just five months ago.

"Demba is very happy with Chelsea and he would like to win titles there," the Daily Mail quotes Ba's agent Alex Gontran as saying. "Demba is looking forward to starting the new season and he's happy and flattered to work with a coach like Mourinho."

There have been reports that West Ham United are keen to bring Ba back to Upton Park on a loan basis.
