Chelsea monitoring Boniface?

According to the report, the Premier League side has had the Nigerian forward on their radar for several weeks and has sent scouts to monitor the progress and performance of the 23-year-old.

Since the takeover by Todd Boehly and his consortium in May 2022, Chelsea has seemingly shifted its transfer policy toward acquiring young talent—making Boniface a perfect fit.

Despite his relatively young age, the Bayer Leverkusen star boasts a wealth of experience across European football, which serves as an added advantage for the forward.

According to data from Transfermarkt, the Super Eagles forward currently has a transfer value in the region of €43 million.
