Report: Newcastle secure Doumbia

By Football Italia staff

Roma forward Seydou Doumbia is on the verge of completing a move to Newcastle United, according to reports.

The Ivorian striker spent the first half of the season on loan at CSKA Moscow, but the Russian side decided not to buy him.

That presented a problem for the Giallorossi, as the player and club have both made it clear they don’t want to continue their relationship.

Now Gianluca Di Marzio’s website is reporting that Newcastle will be Doumbia’s next destination, on loan with the option to buy.

It’s thought the Magpies have virtually wrapped-up a deal, and Doumbia is preparing to head to England for a medical.
