Cameroon striker Vincent Aboubakar could be set for a return to Super Lig team Besiktas, if multiple reports in the Turkish media are to be believed.

The Indomitable Lions attacker featured for the Black Eagles as a loan player in the 2016/17 season and scored 12 league goals as they claimed the Turkish championship.

He returned to Porto and has helped the Dragons to the Portuguese Primeira Liga title, scoring 15 goals (most of them in the first half of the season) in the process.

With Besiktas looking to boost their attack for next season, they are keen on bringing Aboubakar back to Istanbul.

The 26-year-old Africa Cup of Nations champion will cost at least €20million and Besiktas are set to face competition for his services from interested parties in the Premier League.

Meanwhile, Aboubakar and his Porto teammates will wrap up their 2017/18 season with their final Liga match away to Vitoria Guimaraes on Saturday, May 12.
