Arsenal and Manchester United have been offered the chance to sign Victor Boniface late in the January transfer window, with a report claiming that three other clubs in the Premier League have been told that he is willing to join them after his big move to Saudi Arabia broke down.
Boniface is one of the best strikers in the Bundesliga and helped Bayer Leverkusen win the title last season. The 24-year-old scored 14 goals and gave eight assists in 18 starts in the league and also found the back of the net five times and provided one assist in eight UEFA Europa League matches.
The Nigeria international, who has scored 69 goals and given 31 assists in 167 matches in all competitions so far in his career, was on his way to Al-Nassr this month, but that move has fallen through.
The Saudi Pro League club had agreed a deal in excess of £50million with Bayer, but they have now decided to abandon that move and are about to complete a transfer for Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran.
It is well-documented that Arsenal are looking for a new striker in the January transfer window.
With Gabriel Jesus injured and Kai Havertz not scoring as frequently as he did last season, Arsenal are keen on bringing in more firepower. The Gunners have already had a bid for Ollie Watkins turned down.
Man Utd too could do with signing a striker in the January transfer window. The Red Devils have scored just 28 goals in 23 Premier League matches this season.
Rasmus Hojlund has found the back of the net only twice in 18 Premier League games, while Joshua Zirkzee has scored just three goals in 23 league appearances.
