Mamadou Doumbia, a 19-year-old player for Watford, is attracting significant interest from the Premier League this winter transfer window following a strong start to his season in the Championship. The Malian forward is being monitored by several teams, including Brentford and Newcastle. Burnley has also been interested since last summer.
According to the player's entourage, Newcastle has taken the lead in pursuing the player and has made him a priority. The player and his representatives are reportedly receptive to the sporting project offered by the club from the north of England, a factor that could facilitate negotiations. Despite this preference, other projects are still being considered. A reliable source has indicated that the Magpies are expected to increase their efforts in the coming weeks. Doumbia is valued at €800,000 on Transfermarkt and is currently focusing on his performances to increase his value. He joined Watford in July 2024, and his contract is valid until June 2029. In the Championship this season, he has made 18 appearances, scored 3 goals, and provided 1 assist. Doumbia has also earned 5 caps and scored 1 goal for Mali.
