Despite his last minute goal against Paris Saint-Germain that booked a spot in the semi-finals of the Champions League for Chelsea, Demba Ba could be on the move in the summer due to a lack of opportunities, with ironically PSG never far from his thoughts.
Ba has made 23 appearances for Chelsea this season but only three came as part of the starting eleven. He has scored three goals and three assists so far this season.

Ba would love to join PSG, but accepts the fact that the French champions are looking for big name stars rather than players like him in the market.
