This is what is announced on Tuesday the Voix du Nord. The Malian midfielder is at Valenciennes that day to sign for the Red and White. This happened after the medical examination. Tongo Hamed Doumbia would be the ideal player to replace Carlos Sanchez who left.

The publication of the north of France informed that all sides have already agreed to complete the transaction. And Valenciennes hopes to quickly complete the file and qualify the player for the first day of League 1 on Saturday against Toulouse.

Doumbia (24 years old) arrives from Wolverhampton where he finally signed last November after a loan from Rennes. Since then, things have not gone in the right direction. Wolverhampton collapsed to the third division of English football.
