Roma boss Garcia expects goals from Doumbia

AS Roma boss Rudi Garcia is delighted with the quality of new signing Seydou Doumbia.

Doumbia arrived at Roma in the final week of the winter market.

"Doumbia had a long journey before coming here, as he went from Africa to Moscow in order to complete some paperwork, but we know the kind of player he is," said Garcia.

"The statistics prove it, this is a hitman, someone who puts the ball in the net. This is what we expect from him, without pressure of course.

"He only had one training session with us. For now his job will be to settle into the group and get his teeth into some passes. He is ready now, there is no problem, though we'll work more after the Parma game."
