Sports Direct: "Newcastle United could look to bring Demba Ba back to the club if they fail to keep Loic Remy.
"With Alan Pardew desperate to bring in quality upfront, he may look to one of his former players to aid his squad in that department.
"Ba has not managed to establish himself as a regular at Chelsea since he signed from Newcastle last January, and seems likely to be made available this summer.
" "Demba was a terrific player for us and we'd love to have him back," a club insider said. "I think even if we manage to keep Remy there'll be another player brought in upfront." "
Ba scored 29 goals in 58 appearances for Newcastle, but has just 9 in 40 games for the Blues.
