Chelsea ready to battle Arsenal for Brentford star?

Chelsea have been linked with a move for Cheikh Tiote, Man Utd for Demba Ba whilst Tottenham could turn to Tim Krul as a long term replacement for Brad Freidel.<br />

But Newcastle's outspoken manager ruled out any of his players being sold "on the cheap".<br />

"All of our best players are on long-term contracts, so I would be very, very surprised at them being linked with other clubs," Pardew told reporters.<br />

"I think anyone who looks at this football club will know we are difficult sellers.<br />

"Someone is going to have to pay a lot of money to take one of our players away - especially considering where we are right now, and are having success."
