The Nigerian is on the verge of making history with Leverkusen should they go on to win their first-ever Bundesliga title as they lead Bayern Munich by eight points in the title race, but Sports Brief expects him to make a bigger move in the summer.

After scoring 16 goals in all competitions this season, it's no wonder that all of Europe's best clubs are keeping an eye on Boniface and will lure him with a big offer to switch teams.
