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.
