A report claims that three other clubs in the Premier League have been informed that Victor Boniface is willing to join them after his major move to Saudi Arabia failed. Arsenal and Manchester United have been offered the opportunity to sign Boniface late in the January transfer window. In addition, the report claims that Boniface has been offering his services to Manchester United and Arsenal.
As one of the best strikers in the Bundesliga, Boniface was instrumental in Bayer Leverkusen’s victory in the championship game during the previous season. In addition to finding the back of the net five times and providing one assist in eight UEFA Europa League matches, the 24-year-old player scored 14 goals and provided eight assists in 18 starts in the league. He also made eight starts in the Europa League.
This month, the Nigerian international player, who has played in 167 matches across all competitions and has scored 69 goals and provided 31 assists so far in his career, was supposed to move to Al-Nassr, but according to reports, the transfer has been cancelled.
The Saudi Pro League club had previously reached an agreement with Bayer to purchase a player for more than fifty million pounds, but they have now made the decision to abandon that move and are on the verge of finalising a transfer for Jhon Duran, a striker for Aston Villa.
Boniface has reportedly been offered to a number of clubs in England, including Arsenal and Manchester United, according to a report from True Blue Reporter.
In the January transfer window, Arsenal is reportedly looking to acquire a new striker, as this information has been widely documented.
Arsenal is interested in acquiring additional firepower because Gabriel Jesus is currently sidelined with an injury and Kai Havertz is not scoring as frequently as he did during the previous season. In the past, the Gunners have been unsuccessful in their attempt to acquire Ollie Watkins.
In the January transfer window, Manchester United could also benefit from the addition of a striker to their roster. During the current Premier League season, the Red Devils have only managed to score 28 goals across 23 matches.
Although Joshua Zirkzee has only scored three goals in 23 league appearances, Rasmus Hojlund has only scored twice in 18 Premier League games. In addition, Hojlund has only scored twice in the Premier League.
There were also offers made to Boniface by Tottenham, Chelsea, and Aston Villa.
In the 15 matches that Arsenal has played across all competitions this season, Boniface has scored eight goals and provided one assist. It is currently unknown whether or not the club will decide to investigate the possibility of signing these players.
In the event that the Gunners decide to treat the Nigerian international striker, who is 24 years old, with seriousness, they will be required to move quickly because a number of their most formidable competitors in the Premier League have also been made aware of his availability.
During the final days of the January transfer window, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Villa have all been reportedly offered the opportunity to sign Boniface. This information comes from The Football Report.
The German club had been planning for the second half of the season without the striker, and they are still willing to sell him. Bayer, on the other hand, are ready to welcome the striker back into their fold.E.
