Former German Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen are desperate to sell Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface this summer amid interest from Premier League club Newcastle United, Soccernet.ng reports.

Boniface has enjoyed a decent stay at Bayer Leverkusen since he joined the club from Belgian side Royale Union SG two seasons ago.

The 24-year-old striker has contributed 17 goals and 11 assists in 51 appearances, helping them win the Meisterschale last season and a second-place finish this season.

Boniface would probably have more goals for Bayer Leverkusen if not for the injuries he has suffered.

Meanwhile, the Nigerian’s brilliance has attracted interest from some clubs outside Germany. Boniface has been linked with clubs like Chelsea, Manchester United, West Ham, and Newcastle United.

In recent weeks, the speculations of a Newcastle transfer have grown stronger, as the Magpies need another striker because of the likely exit of Alexander Isak.

In a new development, per Werkself Xtra, Bayer Leverkusen are not opposed to letting Boniface leave. The Super Eagles star is even one of the players who they are desperate to sell in the summer.

Recall that in January, the former German champions were even willing to sell him to Saudi Arabian club Al Ahli. But the deal later fell through as the club decided to sign Ivan Toney instead.
