Daily Mail: Clubs queue for £7m Ba

Liverpool and Tottenham head a host of clubs ready to trigger Demba Ba's £7million release clause in the summer.

The Newcastle striker has been in scintillating form this season, scoring 16 goals in all competitions.

And the Senegal hitman is ready to quit the North East after just a single campaign.

In a further blow to Newcastle, Ba will pocket a staggering £3m of the transfer fee, according to the Sunday Mirror.

The buy-out clause was inserted as the club refused to meet the player's personal demands or pay a significant amount of agents' fees.

Ba is keen to remain in the Premier League, despite interest from across Europe, and the 26-year-old hopes to double his current salary to £60,000.
