Manager Alan Pardew said:
"Demba made a great impression with West Ham last season and is a great signing for this club. He has pace, excellent technical ability, is good in the air and, it goes without saying, has the ability to consistently find the back of the net. Moreover he has a great passion to play for Newcastle United."
Demba Ba said:
"I'm very excited to be here," said Ba, who became the Club's second signing in seven days following the arrival of Frenchman Yohan Cabaye last Friday.
"Everything has been sorted out and now I'm happy because I can start to focus on playing and scoring goals for Newcastle.
"This is a great Club and a very good team, so to sign here was an easy choice to make.
"I have spoken to Hatem (Ben Arfa) about the Club and he told me how happy he is here and how big Newcastle are, so I'm really happy and I can't wait to start playing.
"I know a lot of famous strikers have played here before and I will do my best to win games for the Club.
"When I step on the pitch, all I want to do is win games, and I think the Premier League is a good league for me.
"I will keep on working hard. I've heard that the atmosphere here is great and I can't wait to score some goals in front of our fans and here that atmosphere for myself."
