Newcastle striker Demba Ba says a move to Arsenal would be appealing with his escape clause set to be reactivated in January.

Newcastle will be looking to bounce back from the 3-1 defeat by Premier League champions Manchester City last week when they host struggling QPR at the weekend. "Next Saturday is QPR, and at the slightest mistake the crowd will become very demanding," Ba added. "If we repeat the same performance we put in last weekend I think it will be enough. You shouldn't forget that we played the reigning champions. "It bothers me a bit when the team doesn't create much, because football is about beautiful play. "People come to the stadium to watch good football and not to watch long balls from the goalie to the striker."
