\"Demba Ba scored twice on his full debut for West Ham<\/span> <\/p>\n

Newcastle United hope to finalise a deal for West Ham striker Demba Ba within the next 24 hours.<\/p>\n

The Senegal international is expected to travel to Tyneside for talks.<\/p>\n

The 26-year-old former Hoffenheim forward is understood to have a release clause in the three-year contract he signed with West Ham in January.<\/p>\n

Ba scored seven goals in 13 appearances for the Hammers in the 2010\/2011 season, but could not prevent their relegation from the Premier League<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If the deal goes through, he will become the first high-profile name to leave West Ham following their drop down to the Championship.<\/p>\n

Newcastle boss Alan Pardew is known to be in the market for at least one striker following Andy Carroll’s \u00a335m move to Liverpool in January<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ba’s potential transfer comes as Newcastle captain Kevin Nolan heads in the opposite direction<\/a>, with the 28-year-old midfielder expected to complete a switch to Upton Park on Thursday.<\/p>\n

His impending departure is a blow for Pardew, who was keen to retain the services of Nolan, Joey Barton and Jose Enrique, three of his highest earners.<\/p>\n

However, Nolan rejected the terms of an extension, Barton has not been offered a new deal and Enrique is yet to respond to Newcastle’s contract proposal.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
