According to Italian transfer expert Niccolò Ceccarini, cited by Calcio Mercato, Bayer Leverkusen forward Victor Boniface is on a shortlist of profiles that Napoli is considering to replace Vitor Osimhen. This is a highly probable scenario, as many football experts have analyzed the situation. « David de Lille is one of them, but there are also high options on the list. There is Santiago Gimenez from Feyenoord, who is having an extraordinary season in the Netherlands. He has scored 21 goals in the Eredivisie and provided 4 assists, with 2 goals in the Champions League and 1 in the Europa League. In addition to him, there is also Benjamin Sesko…Boniface from Leverkusen. Of course, Zirkzee from Bologna is also in the list, but the competition in Italy is very strong, » he said.
The Nigerian forward, who has had an excellent season with Union St Gilloise, had a sensational start with Leverkusen before being halted by a major injury. His statistics are quite impressive. He has scored 10 goals and provided 7 assists in 16 league matches. He also has 4 goals in the Europa League and 1 assist in 5 matches. In the German Cup, he has scored 2 goals in 2 matches. Before his injury, he won the Rookie of the Month award for 5 consecutive months. If Napoli pursues this deal, they will face strong competition, as several big clubs are also interested in the player.
