Premier League giants chasing signing of CSKA Moscow forward Seydou Doumbia.
Chelsea are looking to rival Liverpool for the signing of £15 million rated striker Seydou Doumbia in the January transfer window, report the Metro, after the CSKA Moscow striker’s stock in England rose hugely thanks to his performances against Manchester City in the Champions League recently.

Doumbia’s pace and goalscoring ability was at the heart of CSKA’s ability to take four points from the Premier League champions over two games – and that ability to slay English opposition has seemingly attracted the interest of Chelsea and Liverpool.
With Diego Costa continuing to bang in the goals with Didier Drogba and Loic Remy in reserve, however, the Blues may not be able to offer the same first team opportunities as Liverpool, something which could swing Doumbia’s preference over his destination.
