Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface has been linked with a move away from the Bundesliga club, and he was expected to join AC Milan.
While Victor Boniface was expected to join AC Milan, the move has now failed, and the Bayer Leverkusen striker has been offered to West Ham United. According to a report by Give Me Sport, the Nigerian striker is unwanted at the Bundesliga club, and he is being offered around. It will be interesting to see if West Ham take up the opportunity to sign the player.
The Nigerian striker is on £95,000-a-week wages, and he has shown his quality in Germany, and he has the physicality to succeed in the Premier League as well. He could prove to be a useful acquisition for the Hammers. West Ham need attacking depth in the squad, and signing a quality striker would be a wise decision.
It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal across the line before the window closes on Monday. It has been a disappointing start for West Ham in the Premier League, and they are yet to pick up a victory. The East London outfit will be desperate to bounce back strongly, and quality players will help them do so.
West Ham are a big club, and they will be expected to fight for European qualification. They barely survived in the Premier League last season, and their form has been disastrous so far. They need to produce a strong reaction and bounce back. The fans will expect better performances from the players.
West Ham need a striker
The club hierarchy will need to back Graham Potter with quality signings as well. Boniface has shown his quality in Germany, and he will look to make his mark in England if the transfer goes through. The opportunity to play in the Premier League could be exciting for him at this stage of his career.
The Nigerian striker will look to hit the ground running and establish himself as a key player for West Ham. Given the fact that the player is being offered around, it is assumed that he could be available for a reasonable amount of money. The Bundesliga giants clearly not keeping him at the club, and he has been ready to leave for a while. West Ham should be able to negotiate a reasonable deal to sign the player.
