The Newcastle United-linked Porto hitman would be a tremendous signing for Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Popular bookmakers SkyBET have installed Wolves as shock outsiders in the race to sign Porto hitman Vincent Aboubakar.
The Cameroonian ace spent the entirety of last season on loan with Turkish side Besiktas, scoring 19 goals in 38 outings in all competitions.
The 25-year-old has been heavily linked with a move away from the Portuguese club throughout the duration of this summer’s transfer window, with Newcastle United thought to be leading the race for his signature, according to the Daily Star.

And whilst SkyBET make the Magpies 4/1 favourites to sign the pacey forward, they have installed Wolves as shock 8/1 favourites in the race to obtain the Porto man’s signature.
Nuno Espirito Santo is desperate to bolster his attacking options at Molineux this summer, and the addition of someone with Aboubakar’s calibre would send shockwaves throughout the Championship.
The Cameroon international possesses blistering pace, and is deadly when presented with a goalscoring opportunity. Standing at over 6ft tall, and powerfully built, he possesses the kind of physique required to succeed in England’s second tier, what with the robust nature of the game in the Championship.
Whilst a move to the Black Country for Aboubakar still seems unlikely, football is a funny old game, and stranger things have certainly happened.
And if Nuno can somehow manage to convince the Porto striker into joining Wolves, it could turn out to be a signing of real significance.
