English Premier League club Everton is reportedly interested in signing Union Saint Gilloise striker Victor Boniface following his outstanding performances in the Belgian Pro League.
Boniface’s remarkable displays have caught the attention of clubs across Europe, with his goal-scoring prowess turning heads.
Last season, the talented striker emerged as the joint top scorer in the UEFA Europa League, netting an impressive six goals. In addition, he contributed eight goals and seven assists in 33 league appearances, further solidifying his reputation as a formidable attacker.
Despite reported interest from Chelsea and Turkish clubs, Union Saint Gilloise’s CEO Philippe Bormans has emphasized that Boniface’s value surpasses the proposed €15 million price tag. It appears that Everton is exploring the potential of acquiring the talented youngster, although no formal bid has been submitted as yet.
Belgian football journalist Sacha Tavolieri revealed on his Twitter account https://twitter.com/sachatavolieri/status/1680339917149200386?t=vPnIc02lo8-QqjV1i5kS4w&s=19 “We are not yet at the stage of formal negotiations but I understand #EvertonFC took initial information on player’s side to glimpse the possibilities of a deal for Victor Boniface.
There is actually absolutely NO offer for the Nigerian striker on the table of #USG even though the player’s open to a move.
Interesting transfer to follow this summer.”
As Boniface continues to attract interest from top European clubs, Everton’s pursuit of the promising striker highlights their intention to bolster their attacking options ahead of the upcoming Premier League season. The Toffees will undoubtedly monitor the situation closely, as they weigh up the possibility of securing the services of the highly sought-after young talent.
