Growing European interest is being shown in Abdoulaye Doumbia, a 19-year-old Ivorian midfielder for BK Häcken. Numerous clubs have sent representatives to observe his performances in Sweden. The teams that have sent representatives to observe the player include Sunderland, Bayer Leverkusen, Everton, Club Bruges, Strasbourg, Paris FC, Nice, and Lens. While Trabzonspor was also persistently mentioned as a potential suitor, this information is unfounded. Transfermarkt currently estimates Doumbia's market value at 5 million euros. The midfielder joined the Swedish club in January 2026 and has made 24 appearances in the Allsvenskan domestic league this season, in which he has scored 2 goals and provided 3 assists.
