Cameroonian international striker Vincent Aboubakar has signed a
contract extension that will keep him at Porto until 2021, the Portuguese side
announced on Thursday.
The
25-year-old is Porto's top scorer so far this season with eight goals, two of
which came in a 3-0 Champions League win at Monaco.
Porto
also acquired all of the player's economic rights by buying the remaining 60
percent from his former club Lorient for €7.2 million.
"The
president (Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa) led this negotiation with the agents of
the athlete and Lorient, it wasn't easy," Porto financial administrator
Fernando Gomes said in a statement.
Aboubakar
joined Porto from French club Lorient in 2014, but spent last season on loan at
Besiktas, scoring 12 goals as they won the Turkish league title.
