The English club released a full press statement on the signing of Ivorian Seydou Doumbia.
Newcastle United have completed the loan signing of Ivory Coast international striker Seydou Doumbia from AS Roma, subject to the player receiving the appropriate visa.
The 28-year-old moves to St. James’ Park until the end of the season, with an option to make the deal permanent in the summer.
He signed for Italian giants Roma in January 2015 before being loaned back to CSKA Moscow last August.
“I’m delighted to be a Newcastle United player,” said Doumbia.
“I’ve already started to prepare. I’ve arrived and I’m ready to go. It has always been a dream to play in the Premier League and now that dream has come true, so I’m absolutely delighted. I am looking forward to helping the Club get some wins and climb the table.”
Head coach Steve McClaren added: “It is no secret that we have been looking to add to our options in the striking area.
“We have been searching for a forward and were delighted when the opportunity arose to take Seydou on loan.
“He is a natural goalscorer, someone who has scored goals in the Champions League and has played at the highest level. We believe he can make a mark in this team.”
