Everton in race for Vincent Aboubakar

Porto striker Vincent Aboubakar is a £16m target for Everton this summer Cameroon international is viewed as perfect partner for Romelu Lukaku.

Everton have opened discussions over a £16million deal for Porto striker Vincent Aboubakar.

The 24-year-old has been a target for Leicester City in recent months but Everton have talked to the player’s representatives and the player is keen to join up with Ronald Koeman at Goodison Park.

The Cameroon international is powerful, quick and scored 16 goals last season. He has 13 goals in 45 games for Cameroon with his last coming in a friendly against France last month.

Everton are keen to keep Romelu Lukaku, who was watched by Juventus on Saturday, but need better options regardless of whether he stays or goes. Oumar Niasse has failed to impress while Arouna Kone is considering an offer from China.

Everton signed 18-year-old Oldham goalkeeper Chris Renshaw last week but are are holding talks with experienced keepers as they look to add a replacement for Tim Howard quickly.
Everton have also asked about Lille full-back Djibril Sidibe who can play on either flank.
