Wolves seal Doumbia deal
Championship,
Last updated:
Wolves have taken Mali international midfielder Tongo Doumbia on a season-long loan with a view to a permanent move.
The 22-year-old moves to Molineux from Rennes, becoming Stale Solbakken's third summer signing ahead of the new Championship season, and the manager is pleased to have added someone of Doumbia's quality to his squad.
He said: "He has good experience for a young player and made 26 appearances last season for a top six club in France."
The Wolves boss continued: "He is a box-to-box player who can operate in that central role defensively and offensively and as well as being physically strong he is also good in possession.
"There is a chance he will be involved in the [friendly] game against Shrewsbury [on Tuesday]."
Doumbia, who played in the Europa League group stages last season, joins fellow new additions Frank Nouble and Bjorn Sigurdarson at Molineux.
