Swansea City are set to revive their interest in Cameroon international Vincent Aboubakar in January, according to reports.

The Porto striker was targeted by the Swans during the summer transfer window after he impressed during his season-long loan spell with Turkish giants Besiktas where he scored 18 goals in all competitions.

His discipline has been questioned, with Aboubakar receiving three red cards in his sole season in Turkey.

But his goalscoring record speaks for itself, and the 62-cap Cameroon forward has already netted 15 goals for club and country so far this season, including a brace in his side's 5-2 thrashing of Ligue 1 powerhouses Monaco in the Champions League earlier this week.

And according to the Telegraph , the Swans will turn to Aboubakar in the winter window to add some much needed firepower to their ranks.

The forward previously revealed that he hoped to ply his trade in the Premier League, claiming that he had been offered a deal by the Swans.

Speaking in July, he said: "I'm going to England, Swansea has a proposal. I do not want to miss it.

"I talked to my manager, I do not want to miss the offer Swansea offers."

A move never materialised and Paul Clement's side signed Tammy Abraham on a season-long loan from reigning Premier League champions Chelsea as well as bringing Wilfried Bony back to the Liberty Stadium from Man City.

Discussing the January window ahead of his side's huge clash with West Brom at the Liberty Stadium, Clement said: "Everyone is working in the same direction, any talk of me not being here is from external circumstances.

"I spoke to Steve Kaplan last night, talking about the games and the window. We are working together to try and make it work.

"We have got six games to go through December to get some valuable points on the board.

"Once we have done that we can look at what we need to do in January. I hope and believe I will be the man to do that.

"The guys from the communication department wrote down a list of names we have been linked with, and it’s a good list. I am not going to comment on individual players, there are some I have not heard of.

"The priority is the front positions, players that can create. That has been low, we are not creating loads and not converting. We are not creating much or scoring much.

"The margins are small, eight games lost by a single goal and it was not the case last season when we were losing 3-0, 4-0. 5-0. We have to make marginal gains work for us."
