The Nigerian international is one of the standout performers in Germany’s top division this season
Super Eagles midfielder Jon Ogu has called on Arsenal to prioritize Victor Boniface in the upcoming transfer window, Soccernet.ng reports.
Arsenal are expected to be active in the winter transfer window amid growing concerns over the fitness of Brazilian star Gabriel Jesus.
The former Manchester City striker has been plagued by injuries, starting and scoring in just four Premier League games.
While Jesus came and went, Eddie Nketiah took the lead, scoring five goals in 11 league games.
However, five teams in the EPL have scored more goals than Arsenal, and the Gunners need to score more if they are to challenge Manchester City for the title.
Arsenal are already heavily linked with a move for Brentford striker Ivan Toney, but Ogu believes Boniface is the perfect player for the Londoners.
Boniface joined from Belgian club Union Saint Giroise in the summer and has shaken up Germany’s top flight this season.
The Super Eagles striker was named the Bundesliga’s Player of the Month in August, making him the first of three New Player of the Month awards this season.
The 22-year-old’s goals, assists and eye-catching dribbles were crucial in taking Bayer Leverkusen to the top of the table and making Die Werkself FC Bayern Munich the biggest challenger to the title.
Ogu believes Boniface can repeat his impressive performances in the Premier League and the midfielder, who won bronze at the 2019 African Cup of Nations, urged the Gunners to give their all for their compatriot.
Ogu, who is an avowed Gunners fan, wrote on his Twitter account The following “Dear Arsenal, please don’t sleep on Boniface.” This is our solution. ”
Boniface has seven goals and six assists in all competitions for Bayer Leverkusen, making him the player with the most shots on target in the Bundesliga so far.
