Nigerian striker Victor Boniface has captured the spotlight with his stellar debut season in the Bundesliga, representing Bayer Leverkusen. With an impressive tally of 18 goals and 10 assists in just 29 matches, Boniface’s performance has garnered attention from across Europe, with West Ham emerging as a frontrunner in pursuit of the talented forward.
Reports from The Sun indicate that the Hammers are keenly interested in securing the services of the 23-year-old sensation.
In a bid to secure his signature, West Ham is reportedly prepared to shatter their transfer record, offering a staggering €70 million—a figure that would eclipse the previous club record of €50 million set by Sébastien Haller.
While West Ham’s pursuit of Boniface is indicative of their ambitious recruitment strategy, speculation surrounding the potential transfer suggests that Bayer Leverkusen may be reluctant to part ways with their prized asset.
Despite the allure of a lucrative deal, British media outlets suggest that a summer departure for Boniface from Leverkusen appears increasingly unlikely.
Indeed, Leverkusen’s head coach, Xabi Alonso, who recently extended his contract with the German champions, has emphatically expressed his desire to retain Boniface within the squad.
The young striker’s pivotal role in Leverkusen’s success this season, coupled with his immense potential, has solidified his status as an integral component of Alonso’s plans for the future.
As the transfer saga unfolds, the footballing world eagerly awaits the outcome of West Ham’s pursuit of Victor Boniface.
With the club poised to make a significant investment to secure his services, the Nigerian forward finds himself at the center of a high-profile transfer tussle, poised to make a potentially historic move to the Premier League.
