Victor Boniface, the Nigerian striker who has taken the Bundesliga by storm, is reportedly attracting interest from Premier League clubs.
The 23-year-old joined Bayer Leverkusen from Union Saint-Gilloise last summer for a fee of €20.5 million and has since established himself as one of the most exciting young players in the league.
Boniface has scored 16 goals in 23 appearances in all competitions this season, and his performances have caught the eye of several top clubs in England.
According to Sky Sports Germany, one Premier League club has already made a concrete approach to Leverkusen about signing Boniface. The identity of the club has not been revealed, but it is believed to be a major player in the English top flight.

Bayer Leverkusen are reluctant to sell Boniface, but they are aware that they could command a significant fee for the player. The Nigerian international has a contract with Leverkusen until 2028, which gives the German club a strong negotiating position.
It is understood that Leverkusen would be willing to sell Boniface for a fee in excess of €55 million. This would represent a significant profit on the fee they paid for him last summer.
The interest from the Premier League in Boniface is a testament to his talent and potential. He is a powerful and pacy striker who has an eye for goal. He is also still young, which means he has the potential to improve even further.
It remains to be seen whether Boniface will move to the Premier League this summer. However, it is clear that he is a player in high demand and that his future is likely to be at a major European club.
