With several clubs reportedly monitoring his situation, Leverkusen may face a tough battle to keep the 24-year-old in Germany beyond this summer.<\/p>\n

Should the deal materialise, Boniface would become the latest Nigerian to feature in England\u2019s top flight, following in the footsteps of the likes of Taiwo Awoniyi, Calvin Bassey and a host of others .<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
