Demba Ba has said that a move to Arsenal in the January transfer window could be tempting.
The Senegal striker has a £7.5m buy-out clause in his Newcastle United contract which could see him leave St James' Park.
The 27-year-old told Sky Sports News: "It is true that Arsenal are among the clubs that are tempting.
"Journalists are doing their job, they know Arsenal need strikers and they know I have a clause in my contract so they start speculating."
Ba has 11 goals for the Magpies so far this season.
