17 Things Newcastle Fans Need To Know About Seydou Doumbia

4. He's Versatile

Given that Seydou is a smaller player who can dribble, he's equally adept to playing the left, right or central in an attacking three. He's blessed blistering pace and a sweet strike on either foot which has helped him to become the prolific finisher that he is. This is great news for Steve McClaren who likes to play with three attacking midfielders behind a central striker. Doumbia is another option down the wings while he could oust Aleksandar Mitrovic from the central striker's role if the big Serbian continues to miss so many chances.
