Newcastle striker Demba Ba says that he is "happy" at Newcastle United and has refused to be drawn on a move to Chelsea.

Newcastle United striker Demba Ba has attempted to distance himself from reports linking him with a transfer to Chelsea.

The 26-year-old is believed to be a summer target for the former English champions, but Ba has insisted that he is focused on the Magpies.

"It is rumours like you get in football," told Sky Sports News. "I am happy with Newcastle and I enjoy being here and playing for the Toon Army. I enjoy being in this team.

"We have a good team spirit and I love the North East, where I have my country-mate, Papiss Cisse."

Ba is understood to have a £7m release cause in his contract.
