Although his current season with Napoli has seen the team face challenges, Osimhen remains a coveted asset in the transfer market. Reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport suggest that Chelsea is among the frontrunners vying for the signature of the Super Eagles striker, with the Blues reportedly prepared to activate his €130m release clause at the end of the season.
Victor Boniface:
At just 23 years old, Victor Boniface has emerged as one of the most lethal forwards in the game. His remarkable record of 16 goals and eight assists for Bayer Leverkusen underscores his importance to the team’s success.

Remarkably, Boniface continues to lead the scoring charts for his team, despite missing over two months of action. As Bayer Leverkusen maintains its position at the summit of the Bundesliga table with 58 points from 22 matches, Boniface’s influence remains pivotal to their aspirations.
