Vincent Aboubakar, who experienced a challenging season with Valenciennes, has become a target for Marseille (OM) and Saint-Etienne as the transfer window unfolds. The Cameroonian striker, at 21 years old, is weighing his options for the next phase of his career.
Despite interest from other clubs like Bastia and Lorient, Aboubakar has reportedly chosen to join FC Lorient. According to Ouest-France, the Cameroonian international is expected to sign a three-year contract with Lorient, and the official announcement is anticipated after his arrival in Lorient on Thursday.
Having reached the end of his contract, Aboubakar decided not to extend his stay with Valenciennes. His past season saw him scoring only 2 goals in 28 games. Over three seasons with Valenciennes, he managed to score a total of 12 goals. The talented striker will be looking for a fresh start and new challenges with FC Lorient.
