"Chelsea Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Demba Ba. The Senegal international has signed a three-and-a-half-year contract with the Blues. He will be eligible for selection for tomorrow's FA Cup match at Southampton, and the Capital One Cup semi-final against Swansea, but cannot play for us in the Europa League this season having appeared in the competition for Newcastle. He will wear the no. 29 shirt."
Chelsea's new signing Demba Ba has scored 50% of Newcastle's goals this season - the highest proportion in Europe's top 5 leagues equal with Ibrahimovic (who has 50% of PSG's goals). During the time he's played in the Premier League, only Rooney and van Persie have scored more goals than Ba.
Congratulations to the 8 Chelsea players from 2012 who were shortlisted for the FIFA FIFPro world team of the year award. Even though none of them made the final XI, well done on reaching the shortlist to Petr Cech, Ashley Cole, David Luiz, Branislav Ivanovic, John Terry, Eden Hazard, Frank Lampard and Didier Drogba.
Congratulations to Frank Lampard who with 194 goals is now Chelsea's second ever highest goalscorer.
100 goals or more for Chelsea:
Bobby Tambling 202
Frank Lampard 194
Kerry Dixon 193
Didier Drogba 157
Roy Bentley 150
Peter Osgood 150
Jimmy Greaves 132
George Mills 125
George Hilsdon 108
