Chelsea intensifies its summer transfer push by targeting Bayer Leverkusen’s 24-year-old striker Victor Boniface, who boasts 10 goals in 20 games this season.
Chelsea have shifted their focus away from Benjamin Sesko. The Blues now lock onto Victor Boniface. Injuries to Nicolas Jackson and Marc Guiu forced manager Enzo Maresca to use Pedro Neto as a makeshift forward.
Despite heavy spending since Todd Boehly’s takeover, Chelsea still lack an elite goalscorer. Fotnet24.net reports that the club will fix this flaw during the summer transfer window.
Chelsea are pulling out all the stops for Boniface. The club plans to speak with both the 24-year-old striker and Bayer Leverkusen soon. Rival clubs such as Manchester United, Arsenal, and Newcastle United watch his progress closely.
Analysts suggest Boniface could cost around €70million—roughly £58.8m or $75.9m. He registered 10 goals in 20 appearances this season and has already scored 71 goals in 171 career games, proving his lethal finishing ability.
While Chelsea continue to admire RB Leipzig’s Sesko, Arsenal now lead that race. Meanwhile, the Blues keep a close eye on Ipswich Town’s Liam Delap, a 22-year-old talent available for about £40m. This move could free up funds for bolstering other key positions.
Defensive reinforcements also feature in Chelsea’s plans. The club has initiated contact for Feyenoord centre-back David Hancko, who carries a £42m price tag. Moreover, Chelsea join the fray in tracking Barcelona’s Gavi as Paris Saint-Germain monitor his next move.
The summer transfer window is heating up as Chelsea take bold steps to secure top talent. Their determined approach promises a dramatic season ahead, leaving fans and rivals on edge.
