Transfer: Napoli to replace Osimhen with another Super Eagles striker

Napoli might look into the Super Eagles squad, as they look for a replacement for Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen is all but set to leave the Italian champions this summer.

However, the Serie A side are now looking at the 23-year-old’s compatriot, Victor Boniface to replace him.

Boniface, who plays for Bayer Leverkusen in Germany, has scored 10 goals and provided eight assists in just 15 starts.

His impressive displays have seen him win the Rookie of the Month award four times consecutively.

However, he suffered an adductor injury, which has sidelined him for most of the Rückrunde while Leverkusen continued their pursuit of silverware on multiple fronts.

Italian transfer expert, Niccolò Ceccarini, has shed light on Napoli’s transfer plans, mentioning Boniface among the strikers on their radar.

Ceccarini stated, as reported by Calcio Mercato, “In addition to him, there is also Benjamin Sesko. Also in this case the evaluation is the same as Gimenez, Leverkusen’s Boniface.”
