Tottenham and Chelsea are among four clubs harbouring realistic ambitions of signing CSKA Moscow hitman Seydou Doumbia, according to the player’s agent.

Doumbia, 26, has been deadly in front of goal over the past few seasons. He netted 50 league goals in just two seasons at Young Boys, the Swiss club, before taking his prolific exploits to Russia, where he top-scored in the 2011/12 season with 28 goals from 42 outings. He already has 13 league strikes in 15 appearances this term.

talkSPORT told you earlier this week that Newcastle United and Everton are on his trail, but his representative Malik Arutyunov believes the Ivory Coast international could instead be heading to London in the summer.

When asked about mooted interest from Turkish giants Galatasaray, he told Radyospor: “[The interest of] Galatasaray about Seydou Doumbia? I do not know if it is genuine interest. I know that he is followed by Napoli, Tottenham, Borussia Dortmund and Chelsea but I cannot say any more.”

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has been critical of his existing group of strikers and is expected to sign a top-class forward in the summer, while Tottenham may look to axe £26m flop Roberto Soldado and bring in a new attacker.
