Roma have added two new strikers after signing Seydou Doumbia from CSKA Moscow and agreeing a deal to bring Cagliari forward Victor Ibarbo in on loan.

The Serie A side captured the £10.85m signing of Ivory Coast international Zoumbia at the weekend, with the 27-year-old agreeing a four-and-a-half-year deal at the Stadio Olimpico.

Rudi Garcia has further boosted his striking options after Mattia Destro joined AC Milan on loan, with a deal agreed for Colombia striker Ibarbo to join on loan for the remainder of the season.

The deal will see Roma initially pay Cagliari £1.88m, then they have the option of securing a permanent deal for £9.41m in the summer.
