Girona complete Doumbia signing

Girona have completed the signing of Ivorian striker Seydou Doumbia, previously at Sporting CP, to strengthen their attacking options.

The Catalan club’s sporting director Quique Carcel was a long-term admirer of the 30-year-old, with rumours that a variety of attackers could depart the club.

Sevilla and Real Sociedad have been linked with attacking midfielder Portu while Uruguayan striker Cristian Stuani has been mentioned in relation to a move to French club Marseille.

“Watching Girona last season was one of my motivations to come here,” Doumbia told official club media upon his move.

Doumbia has played for a number of European clubs including Young Boys, CSKA Moscow, Roma, Newcastle United and Basel, but has never previously played in Spanish football.
