Bye Bye Ba

With relegation looming, the Hammers auction begins, starting with Demba Ba.

If West Ham were to be relegated there will be no shortage of takers for the 25-year old, who’s availability has been inquired by Aston Villa, Blackburn and Sunderland reports the Mail.

West Ham play Blackburn this weekend in a must win game, a match that could see the east-london side climb out of the relegation zone, but a defeat could seal their fate to the Championship.

Ba was signed in January from German club Hoffenheim for a nominal fee that could rise to £6million, should a number of clauses be met. Netting 5 times in 11 appearances is good return, but question marks remain over the long term fitness of the French born striker.
