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.
