Aboubakar and Pedro are Sevilla's top attacking targets Transfer Market - Sevilla Focus is on a striker after strengthening defence

While new Sevilla coach Pablo Machin currently has up to six centre-backs to call upon, there is now a focus towards the top end of the pitch with Vincent Aboubakar and Pedro Guilherme Abreu, of Fluminense, linked to lead the line ahead of Wissam Ben Yedder and Luis Muriel.

The arrivals of Sergi Gomez from Celta Vigo and Joris Gnagnon from Rennes mean that a couple of centre-backs will inevitably leave the club, and the future of current strike duo appears to also be up in the air.

Porto striker Vincent Aboubakar has been linked to Sevilla through Canal Sur and reportedly meets the criteria that Machin is looking for in a No. 9, while the Brazilian journalist Bruno Andrade of the website Goal claims that Los Nervionenses are following the young 21-year-old forward Pedro from Fluminense, as also reported by the Seville-based Estadio Deportivo.

In addition, another name that has come up in relation to Sevilla is Chelsea striker Michy Batshuayi, though there will likely be competition from Valencia for his signature.

The Belgian believes that LaLiga could mesh well with his playing style and, at Valencia, he would be playing in the Champions League, a detail which may give Los Che the upper hand.
