According to SportBild (via SportWitness), Chelsea They are looking to bring Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface to Stamford Bridge during the summer transfer window.
The London giants have lacked cutting edge in front of goal this season and there was another excellent example last weekend where they were guilty of wasting several clear chances against city of manchester. The Blues could have been two or three goals ahead in the first half at the Etihad Stadium, but they ended up drawing 1-1 in the end.
The Chelsea hierarchy could invest in a top striker this summer and SportBild They claim that Chelsea are tempting Boniface to move to the first division. Leverkusen have no plans to sell him at the moment and it is claimed that his current market value of £34m could be a starting point for discussions.
First class forward
Boniface had an excellent season at Union Saint-Gilloise last season with 22 goals and 12 assists to his name. As a result, he earned a move to Leverkusen and got off to a tremendous start with 16 goals and 8 assists before suffering an adductor injury. The 23-year-old is expected to return in April and could finish the campaign as league winners.
Leverkusen is a difficult club to negotiate and they previously allowed it Kai Havertz join Chelsea in a great business valued at £75m in the summer of 2019. The Blues will be aware of this and the club may have to pay much more than £34m if they want to sign Boniface from the current Bundesliga leaders.
The Nigerian star is a true striker who has a slight preference for the left flank. His aerial and physical presence are among his main strengths. He is also quite decent with his ball control in the final third and has proven his worth by creating several opportunities for his teammates. He would be a top signing for Chelsea.
