"AfricaFootUnited", a French publication specializing in African football, has published an article about Cameroonian Vincent Abubakar's transfer to "Neftchi".
According to Idman.Biz, the article notes that the striker chose an unexpected direction to continue his career and rejected offers from stronger leagues.
It is emphasized that 33-year-old Abubakar decided to move to Baku after leaving "Hatayspor" in order to gain stable playing time and reassert himself. He has made a bright start: three goals and one assist in two matches for "Neftchi".
It is also noted that such a step carries certain risks, mainly in terms of the potential reduction of the player's media impact ahead of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. However, regular play and a leadership role in the Azerbaijani club can help the striker maintain his high level.
"AfricaFootUnited" concludes that the Azerbaijani stage of his career could be both a springboard and a transitional period, but Abubakar's first games with "Neftchi" are promising.
