Striker Demba Ba is determined to leave TSG Hoffenheim this summer and take up an offer to join VfB Stuttgart.

The 24-year-old Senegal international has been told by Hoffe officials that he is going nowhere, but Ba is insisting that he wants a new challenge.

He told Suddeutsche Zeitung: "For four or five months I have been mulling over leaving the club.

"Now I have made up my mind on that and I am certain on leaving Hoffenheim.

"The offer that dropped in from Stuttgart only had a speeding effect on my decision.

"Hoffenheim told me they would not allow me to leave, but even though I am under contract for two more years at the club, I am absolutely in need of a change of environment right now."
