Seydou Doumbia on Marseille radar

Ligue 1 side Marseille are looking at the option of signing AS Roma striker Seydou Doumbia this month.

The Ivory Coast international is currently plying his trade with CSKA Moscow on a season-long loan deal.

Recent reports have suggested that the 28-year-old could find himself in the Premier League with West Ham United interested in his services.

However, French outlet L'Equipe claims that Marseille will seek to beat the Hammers to the player's signature.

It is added that the club will propose a short-term loan with a view to a permanent switch at the end of the season.

Doumbia has amassed 11 goals for CSKA this term.
