West Ham hero Ba holds no Stoke grudge

West Ham United striker Demba Ba holds no grudge against Stoke City.

With four goals in five appearances, Ba is fit, hungry and firing on all cylinders.

"That's life, but these things happen and I'm not mad at all at Stoke City. I'm just working and doing my thing," Ba told West Ham TV.

"I could have been playing for Stoke, but I'm very happy with what has happened. I want to thank the club for the confidence and faith they have put in me and I'm doing everything I can to give it back.

"I'm enjoying the Premier League. I'm enjoying the freedom to play my football. There is no pressure like they used to put on me in Germany. I can just enjoy my football and that's the best way to play very good."
