Chelsea has emerged as the frontrunner to sign Nigerian striker Victor Boniface in the next summer transfer window.
The English Premier League side has lacked a potent striker in recent years, affecting their ability to compete with the top teams in the league.
This season, the club’s only recognised striker has been Senegalese attacker Nicolas Jackson.
The striker despite starting the season well subsequently dipped and form and received a lot of backlash.
Now injured, Chelsea is lacking firepower up front and the team’s woes have increased.
Aware of the need to bring in a new striker, Chelsea has now decided to go into the transfer market in the summer transfer window.
The club has identified Victor Boniface as a striker to solve its woes in the striking department and has decided to contact Bayer Leverkusen for the services of the Nigerian when the summer transfer window comes around.
Sources have indicated that the Blues will present a juicy offer with a mouthwatering monetary benefit to Boniface in hopes of convincing him to sign for the team.
