Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has dismissed a transfer move for Newcastle striker Demba Ba. Newcastle boss Alan Pardew admitted on Thursday that Ba would be sold if he did not remove the reported £7m release clause in his contract.
"I like Demba Ba, yes," said Wenger. "If you ask me 'do we sign Demba Ba?' I say no."
The Frenchman added: "I don't think [this] is the right place to speak about that, because he plays against us [on Saturday].
"I wouldn't like to put Newcastle or us or him in an uncomfortable position."
