Chelsea are keen on signing the Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface.
The 24-year-old has scored 10 goals this season and he could prove to be a quality acquisition for the Blues. It is no secret that Chelsea need attacking reinforcement and a striker should be one of their priorities during the summer transfer.
Boniface helped Leverkusen win the league title last season and he scored 21 goals in all competitions. He has the attributes to do well in the Premier League and it will be interesting to see if Chelsea can get the deal done. The report from Fichajes states that Chelsea are willing to spend €70 million on the striker.
It is a lucrative proposal and the German champions will find it hard to turn it down. Chelsea have been overly dependent on Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson for goals and creativity. Although Jackson has shown improvement this season, Chelsea need more depth in the attack. Boniface could be a quality acquisition. He is young enough to improve further, and the Blues could nurture him into a star.
Chelsea need more quality
Chelsea are currently pushing for Champions League qualification, and it will be interesting to see if they can finish in the top four. It will certainly help them attract quality players during the summer transfer window. They have shown improvement under Enzo Maresca this season, but they need more additions if they truly want to compete with the elite clubs. It will be interesting to see if they can bring the right additions during the summer transfer window. Apart from a quality striker, they should look to invest in a dynamic attacker who is capable of slotting anywhere across the front three.
Meanwhile, the opportunity to move to the Premier League can be quite exciting for most players, and the striker will certainly be tempted to move to Chelsea. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world and they could provide him with the platform to show qualities at a higher level.
Regular football in England could help the striker improve further and fulfil his tremendous potential.
