"According to a report from Africa Foot, the Magpies are ready to accelerate' their move for Watford forward Mamadou Doumbia, a player who they have been monitoring for some time. Keith Andrews' Brentford have also been linked with the forward (Image credit: Getty Images) Mali international Doumbia joined the Hornets in 2024, signing from AS Black Stars and has been enjoying a productive campaign in the Championship, netting three times in 18 appearances,"
"Newcastle, it adds, are in the lead for the forward and have already pitched their project to him, which went down well, meaning Doumbia is reportedly keen on the move. Previously, there has been interest from Turkish side Caykur Rizespor ahead of the January transfer window, but that trail appears to have gone cold, as they are not mentioned in this latest report on the in-demand youngster's future."
Newcastle United have made no signings in the January transfer window and currently sit ninth in the Premier League, five points off Champions League places. The club strengthened its attack in the summer with Nick Woltemade, Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa to replace Alexander Isak. Newcastle have been monitoring Watford forward Mamadou Doumbia and are ready to step up pursuit of the 19-year-old amid interest from Brentford and Burnley. Doumbia joined Watford in 2024 from AS Black Stars, has scored three times in 18 Championship appearances and received an AFCON call-up for Mali. Interest from Caykur Rizespor appears to have cooled.
