Club Brugge is on the trail of a new golden boy. Blue-black scouts were spotted in Italy last weekend. The target: Issa Doumbia.
Slightly more concrete: scouts from Club Brugge were present at the match between Venezia FC and AC Monza last weekend. The home team won the top match in Serie B 2-0.
TuttoMercatoWeb know that blue-black came to see Issa Doumbia. The Italian promising international is specifically on the radar of Dévy Rigaux.
Hans Vanaken
Doumbia is a versatile midfielder who makes himself noticed through attacking infiltrations and footballing ability. A type of Hans Vanaken, we hear you think?
One thing is certain: it will be difficult to attract the 22-year-old Italian with Ivorian roots. Celtic FC and RCD Espanyol are also tracking him.
Competition from England, Scotland and Spain
Transfer market estimates the market value of Doumbia at 6.5 million euros. For the sake of completeness: Venezia rejected a six million euro bid from Southampton FC for the midfielder last summer.
