Arsenal have been presented with an opportunity to sign Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface before the transfer window closes, according to TBR Football. The Gunners, who are still seeking attacking reinforcements following Gabriel Jesus’ injury, could make a late move for the 24-year-old Nigerian international.
Boniface, who has been highly praised for his performances this season, was initially set to join Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia. However, the deal collapsed after the club opted to pursue Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran instead, despite having agreed to a transfer fee exceeding £50 million for Boniface.
The striker’s uncertain future has caught the attention of several Premier League clubs, with Arsenal among the teams reportedly exploring the possibility of a move. Boniface is described as a ‘world-class’ talent and has become a subject of growing interest in England, as his situation at Bayer Leverkusen remains in limbo.
With Arsenal desperately in need of a striker to address their injury woes, the Gunners could see Boniface as an ideal addition. If the deal is to progress, reports suggest that a fee of around £50 million could be enough to seal his transfer.
As the January transfer window nears its close, Arsenal now face a crucial decision: whether to move forward with their pursuit of Boniface or look elsewhere for a solution to their striking crisis.
