The former Newcastle ace began his career with the Blues in the best possible manner with two goals in the 5-1 FA Cup win over Southampton on Saturday.

Ba says that once he heard the FA Cup champions were interested in his services, joining the capital club was a formality.

"When you know a club like Chelsea wants you the decision is going to be easy," the Senegal international told TalkSport.

"With all due respect to Newcastle, because Newcastle is a big club with a big history.

"I woke up on Wednesday and prepared myself to play against Everton, I got a text from the manager to tell me I need to come and see him and from that moment I knew that everything was fixed for me to go.

"I'm very happy, very pleased to play with these players [at Chelsea]," he added.

"They're world-class players and when you play with them it's something different, they're really intelligent in the game."

Ba scored 29 goals in 54 games for the Magpies after joining from West Ham in 2011.
