Basel get Roma striker on loan

 

Roma have announced they have loaned out Seydou Doumbia to Switzerland giants FC Basel ahead of the new season.

 

Doumbia, 28, has failed to make an impact on the Serie A side since joining from CSKA Moscow in January 2015.

 

The Ivory Coast international endured a frustrating loan spell at Newcastle during the second half of last season and the Magpies turned down the chance to make the swap a permanent one.
