Juventus identify Nigeria striker Victor Boniface as Dusan Vlahovic replacement

By Wale Mustapha

Nigeria and Bayer Leverkusen forward, Victor Boniface has been linked with Italian Serie a giant, Juventus for a potential summer move.

The Super Eagles’ striker is having a brilliant season since his arrival to Bundesliga from Belgian side, Saint Gilloise.

Boniface has been involved in double figures for Leverkusen in all competitions.

A source close to Juventus disclosed that the Bianconeri are planning to sign Boniface to replace Dušan Vlahović who has been linked with Arsenal.

The Gunners have been searching for a new striker as they can no longer rely on injury prone Gabriel Jesus and are planning to add Vlahovic to their rank.

While Juve are bracing up for the Serbian departure, Boniface will come in as perfect replacement and they are anticipating launching a bid for him in the summer.

Equally, Napoli have also taken note of the 22-year-old form and are said to be considering a move for him as a replacement for Victor Osimhen.

Boniface is on a five-year deal with the Die Werkself following his move in the summer which means that any interested club might have to pay a premium fee to lure him away from the BayArena in the summer.
