Sport nationWest Ham United Set Sights on ‘World-Class’ Bundesliga Striker Victor Boniface
West Ham United are reportedly keen on signing Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface in the summer transfer window. According to Christian Falk, the Hammers are eager to improve their forward line by adding the Nigerian international to their ranks.
Boniface, 24, has been in impressive form for Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen, despite a hamstring injury that has limited his playing time this season. He has netted ten goals in 18 appearances in all competitions, adding to his impressive tally of 21 goals in 34 games last term.
The striker’s impressive form has caught the attention of West Ham United, who are in dire need of a reliable goal-scorer. The Hammers have struggled in front of goal this season, notching just 30 goals in the Premier League, the joint-fifth worst tally in the division.
As things stand, West Ham have fielded four different strikers in the league, and together, they have conjured up just five goals between them. The lack of firepower has been a major concern for manager David Moyes, who is desperate to strengthen his attacking options in the summer.
According to Falk, West Ham are confident that Boniface can provide the solution to their goal-scoring woes. The Nigerian striker is known for his pace, power, and clinical finishing, making him an attractive prospect for the Hammers.
“Victor Boniface is a world-class striker who has consistently shown his ability to score goals at the highest level,” Falk said. “West Ham United are keen on signing him in the summer, and they believe he can make a significant impact on their attacking fortunes.”
Bayer Leverkusen are reportedly open to selling Boniface in the summer, with the club expecting either him or Patrick Schick to leave when the season ends. A move to Saudi Arabia collapsed in the January window, and it is believed that the striker is eager to test himself in the Premier League.
West Ham United’s interest in Boniface is a clear indication of their ambition to strengthen their squad and push for a top-seven finish in the Premier League. With the Nigerian striker’s impressive goal-scoring record and his desire to play in the Premier League, it is a transfer that could prove to be a game-changer for the Hammers.
As the summer transfer window approaches, West Ham United fans will be eagerly awaiting news of Boniface’s potential signing. If the Hammers can secure the striker’s signature, it could be a major coup for the club and a significant boost to their attacking options.
