Tonali's ban

We could do with another Centre forward, Isaks a sick note at the moment, break the bank and get the Napoli striker who’s name I can’t spell.

Osimhen? The lad is gonna command a fee of +£120m.

The smart money would go on the lad Boniface, Osimhen's countryman has exploded on the scene this season. https://www.bundesliga.com/en/bundes...-striker-24103

He offers something different to both Wilson & Isak. He's 22 & a beast!

After cutting his teeth in the game at Real Sapphire in his homeland, Boniface made his breakthrough in the European game at Norwegian top-flight side Bodo/Glimt, where he posted 23 goals and eight assists in 66 games between 2019 and 2022.

That earned him a move to Belgian first division outfit Union Saint-Gilloise in summer 2022 – and the goals continued to flow. The 6’2” forward hit a hat-trick on his debut for the club in a UEFA Champions League qualifying game against Klaksvik, a haul that formed part of his 22 strikes and 12 assists in 55 competitive appearances for Union.

Boniface proved his elite-level credentials in the Europa League in particular, providing two goals and two assists in four meetings with Union Berlin in the group stage and round of 16, while also hitting the target against Leverkusen in the quarter-finals.

Since moving to Bayer over the summer, he has been a revelation; scoring a debut goal in the DFB Cup and registering a debut assist in the Bundesliga before hitting braces in each of his next two German top-flight outings. That resulted in a first Nigeria cap in the 6-0 win over Sao Tome and Principe on 10 September 2023 before Boniface became only the second ever player - and first since Erling Haaland in January 2020 - to win both the Bundesliga Rookie of the Month and Player of the Month awards in the same month when he collected both gongs for August 2023. He added the September Rookie award to his collection, helped by another brace against Heidenheim.

Plays a bit like: Robert Lewandowski

Comparing a Bundesliga newcomer to one of the league’s absolute all-time greats might sound a tad premature, but hear us out. Boniface is an all-round centre forward, good with both feet, physically powerful, good in the air and with a surprisingly good dribbling ability. His clever movement and ability to lose his marker are also traits he shares with the Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich legend.

Reading that, he could cost more than Osimenh or whatever his name is. But why would they sell either of these players, so we gonna have to break the bank to get either of them. I think that’s the next step, a BIG statement signing, let’s see.
