Report: Villarreal closing on Cedric Bakambu

A report claims that Villarreal are close to signing Cedric Bakambu from Turkish side Bursaspor.

Villarreal are reportedly close to securing the signing of Bursaspor forward Cedric Bakambu.

The former France Under-20 international scored 29 goals for his Turkish club last season and his form has led to talk of a move to a number of European clubs.

According to AS, however, Villarreal have won the race for the 24-year-old, who moved to Turkish football from Sochaux in 2014.

It is understood that the Yellow Submarine will pay in the region of £5m for the forward, who is expected to undergo a medical later on Monday.

Villarreal are also believed to be confident of signing Roberto Soldado from Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
