Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface could be on his way to the Premier League, according to latest reports.

Premier League giants Newcastle United are reportedly in advanced talks to sign Victor Boniface from Bayer Leverkusen.

Magpies boss Eddie Howe is determined to sign a new centre-forward this summer, with Callum Wilson set to leave when his contract expires in June, and there is also serious interest in leading scorer Alexander Isak.

This has been a historic season for Newcastle, celebrating their first major trophy in 70 years, and currently one win away from playing UEFA Champions League football next season.

According to German outlet BILD, Newcastle are now actively engaging in discussions to secure Boniface. The proposed fee of £40 million reflects the club's ambition to invest in quality talent this summer.

Boniface's addition could significantly enhance Newcastle's attacking prowess. However, questions arise about whether he would be willing to play a secondary role behind Alexander Isak, the team's first-choice striker when healthy.

With the added demands of European competition next season, the Magpies will need a squad capable of managing increased fixture congestion.

Despite struggling with injuries, Boniface has managed 11 goals across all competitions, and when healthy, he is guaranteed to find the back of the net more frequently.
