Demba Ba has asked Jose Mourinho to pair him up with Fernando Torres up front for Chelsea.

Ba, who played alongside fellow Senegalese striker Papiss Cisse at Newcastle before he joined Chelsea in January, alternated up front with Torres, playing only once alongside the Spaniard who has rediscovered his form. He hopes Mourinho, widely assumed to be the next Chelsea manager, will play both next season.

“Fernando and I only played one game together, the last one,” Ba said. “It had some good prospects and we showed some promising things. I believe it could work well. It was successful before at Newcastle, sometimes for Cisse, sometimes for me. Even though we didn’t score at the same time we played good football together. It’s good to have a partner.”

It follows a season that for most clubs was hugely successful bit for Chelsea was mixed.

"We’re pleased about the Europa League and Champions League spot but we could have done better in the Premier League and the disappointment of this means we’re going to work very hard and get ready for the new season,” said the Senegalese striker.

Ba did not play under Mourinho the first time the Portuguese manager was in charge at Chelsea but he cannot wait for the experience to start.
