Newcastle United<\/a> boss Alan Pardew<\/a> has expressed an interest in bringing former West Ham<\/a> striker Demba Ba<\/a> to St James’ Park.<\/p>\n

Newcastle have been in the market for a forward since Andy Carroll’s \u00a335 million January deadline day departure to Liverpool and Ba, who scored seven goals in 10 Premier League starts for the Hammers, could fit the bill.<\/p>\n

Pardew told reporters: “Demba Ba has done very well since he came to England and he’s a good player.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m very much aware of him and I probably know what he is capable of more than most because I’ve known about him for a while, before he went to West Ham.<\/span><\/p>\n

“We’re not the only club who are interested, but we are trying. There is always competition and we will keep plugging away.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Everton have also been strongly linked with Ba, who reportedly turned down a bumper new deal at relegated West Ham in order to find a Premier League club.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Guardian<\/em> quote an Upton Park executive as saying: “He was offered \u00a350,000 a-week wages and a half a million pound signing on fee. But he decided to walk away. We think he may now sign for Everton.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Ba joined West Ham in January after a failed medical scuppered a potential move to Stoke City and is the first high-profile name to leave West Ham following their relegation to the Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n

Toon boss Pardew has also expressed an interest in PSG striker Mevlut Erding.
