The versatile Nigerian forward has been involved in five goals in his six appearances, according to data courtesy of FotMob—a performance that has largely not gone unnoticed.

Amid the seemingly impressive display from the forward, a report courtesy of DeadlineDayLive reveals that Premier League outfit Chelsea is keeping a close tab on the Nigerian forward.

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.

Chelsea is considering the possibility of signing a new striker to bolster its attack, and Boniface could be the ideal forward for the West London outfit.
