West Ham are willing to smash their transfer record to acquire the services of Nigerian striker Victor Boniface. The 23-year-old striker has also been linked to Chelsea and Newcastle United.
Tim Steidten, technical director of the Hammers, is advocating for the significant swoop and may succeed in doing so before the opportunity closes. Since coming from Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium to the Bundesliga in the summer, Boniface has been a tremendous hit.
Steidten is attempting to arrange a contract with Leverkusen, his previous team. West Ham can afford to make a huge splash, and manager David Moyes is in favour of spending a lot of money on a proven striker.
Danny Ings and Michail Antonio are long-term question marks for the Irons, who may bench them both if Boniface is signed.
Given their high salaries, it would aid in maintaining financial balance. Later this month, West Ham may also trade Said Benrahma due to rumoured interest from French clubs.
Although Boniface only arrived at Leverkusen in the summer, they might be willing to sell him for a high price and then look for a replacement.
