West Ham target Vincent Aboubakar bagged an incredible two-minute goal and assist cameo during the Cameroon vs Serbia World Cup classic.

Hammers boss David Moyes has been linked with a move to sign the 30-year-old striker ever since he returned to the London Stadium three years ago.

Aboubakar left Porto to join Besiktas in the summer of 2020.

The Cameroon international has bagged 35 goals and nine assists in 67 games for the Turkish side (Transfermarkt).

Despite his advancing years, he has proven over the past couple of years that he is capable of scoring goals consistently for his club, and he was on fire during the Cameroon vs Serbia clash this morning as well…

Aboubakar grabs Cameroon vs Serbia clash by the scruff of the neck

The 30-year-old began the game on the bench today.

Rigobert Song brought the ex-Porto ace on after 55 minutes, with Cameroon trailing 3-1.

And it took Aboubakar just eight minutes to turn the game on its head.

The 30-year-old produced a truly incredible finish in the 63rd minute to half the deficit for his side:

And then just three minutes later, he showed real pace after latching on to a through ball before squaring it to Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting to slot home.

What a three minute cameo it was by the Besiktas man.

The Cameroon vs Serbia clash finished 3-3 in the end, and the result kept the African nation in with a shout of qualifying for the last 16 of the World Cup.

It will be really interesting to see whether West Ham manager David Moyes reignites his interest in the Cameroonian ace after his showing against Serbia today.
