Watch Tottenham transfer target Seydou Doumbia in action: his best clips, including a 16-minute hat-trick
Tottenham have been linked with a £10m swoop for Ivory Coast striker Seydou Doumbia - the man hailed in his homeland as 'the new Didier Drogba'.
The 21 year-old is being tipped to star at next year's World Cup finals - which means we could see a lot more of this sort of thing in the summer...
1) Doumbia currently plays for Swiss side BSC Young Boys (stop sniggering at the back!) - and here he is banging in a 16-minute hat-trick against Bellenz (look, this sniggering really has to stop...) in October, 2009.
2) Praise the lord! Lots of goals here - and an equally impressive amount of turf-kissing. How will that go down at White Hart Lane?
3) Handily, should Spurs ever contest another Carling Cup final penalty shoot-out, Doumbia can take a penalty. Even better, there could be a future in Celebrity Strictly Come Dancing if the celly is anything to go by,
4) Unhelpfully this interview with Doumbia was conducted in French and comes with German subtitles. However, you don;t need to know what he's saying to appreciate the magnificent hairdo on display. They'll all be wearing it like this in Edmonton come January - mark our words!
5) More goals, more dancing, more unintelligible interview footage. And is it us, or does Doumbia look like a particularly fired-up wasp in that Young Boys strip?
