He may have had a disappointing time of it at Newcastle in the second-half of last season, but Seydou Doumbia has a fine goalscoring record thus far in his career.

Known for his blistering pace, the 28-year-old made his name at CSKA Moscow between 2010 and 2015, where he scored 84 goals in just 129 games for the Russian side.

That earned him a move to AS Roma, but he struggled the nail down a first-team spot with the Italian club, and has since returned to CSKA Moscow on loan, and has also had spells at Newcastle and now Basel.

This season, Doumbia has scored nine goals in 12 Swiss League games, but has yet to get off the mark in the Champions League.

He and the Basel faithful will be hoping that he can get that elusive goal on Tuesday as they look to qualify for the Europa League.
