Newcastle United's new signing Demba Ba believes the knockbacks he has suffered in the English game have given him the mental strength to be a success at St James's Park.
Ba was rejected by Barnsley and Watford earlier in his career and failed a medical at Stoke last season before he eventually joined West Ham.
The Paris-born striker was then relegated from the Premier League with the Hammers, despite scoring seven goals in 10 starts, but now has another chance to prove himself in the top flight.
Ba signed a three-year deal with Newcastle after joining on a free transfer in June and was described by former Toon player Habib Beye as "one of Europe's top strikers".
The 26-year-old has set himself the target of hitting double figures again this season and described his new team-mates as "some cool dudes".
