Tottenham Hotspur were reportedly keen on signing the Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface during the summer transfer window.
According to a report from TBR, Tottenham considered a move for the 23-year-old striker before they opted to move for Dominic Solanke. Boniface had an exceptional season last year and scored 21 goals in all competitions. He picked up 10 assists along the way as well.
There is no doubt that the striker would have been a quality acquisition for the north London club. However, Chelsea have now entered the race to sign him and they are monitoring his progress ahead of a potential move. The Blues could certainly use more attacking quality and the 23-year-old would be a superb addition.
It will be interesting to see if Tottenham reignite their interest in the player in the coming months. They could certainly use more depth in the striking department. Richarlison has been quite underwhelming since joining the club and he has been linked with an exit. Replacing him with the 23-year-old Bundesliga striker could prove to be a wise decision in the long term.
The striker will certainly be attracted to the idea of playing in the Premier League. It will be an excellent step up in his career and he will look to prove himself at the highest level.
Both Tottenham and Chelsea will be attractive destinations for the player, and it remains to be seen where he ends up.
Meanwhile, Solanke is yet to live up to the expectations at his new club and he will need to capture his top form soon.
