Two Premier League clubs are reportedly interested in signing Cameroon star Vincent Aboubakar after his Golden Boot-winning performances at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Indomitable Lions forward helped his nation reach the semi-finals of the competition by scoring eight goals in six games before Egypt narrowly beat them 3-1 on penalties after a 0-0 stalemate.
It appears the striker’s form in front of goal at the showpiece has sparked interest from England, with Newcastle United and West Ham United ready to rival each other for the Al-Nassr star’s signature, according to Kick442.

It is claimed the 30-year-old is keen to join an English club after spending time playing for teams in Portugal, Turkey and now Saudi Arabia.
The Hammers were widely linked with a striker in the previous transfer window, but failed to secure any of their reported targets.
West Ham boss David Moyes is believed to be searching for a back-up to Michail Antonio, and could make a move for the Cameroon attacker in the coming months.
