PARMA CLOSE TO SECURING M`BOMA

The Cameroonian star scored four times in six African Cup of Nations matches for his country, and has been a consistent performer for Cagliari this year.

Eight goals in 27 games in Serie A have played a large part in Parma swooping to snap up the 29-year-old for a fee that will rise to as much as £4 million.

The African striker will sign a three year deal with Parma, as they try to build on their top six finish in their last campaign.
