Taking to Instagram, Ba told Sunderland fans: "What a very special first season in England. Hope you enjoyed as much as we did on the pitch. Proper rollercoaster but no regret, we will come back stronger (but first let us catch a break) Can’t wait to see you guys again, thanks for the incredible support everywhere."
