According to the Daily Post, Bayer Leverkusen are not keen on selling Boniface but a big offer of around €55 million could tempt them to cash in on the Nigerian striker after only one season.

Newcastle United, West Ham United, and Chelsea are three of several clubs that have been linked with an interest in the Super Eagles striker but none have made a concrete offer yet.

Boniface only returned to fitness training with the Leverkusen first team this week after being sidelined with an adductor injury which has kept him out for three months.
