Super Eagles Victor Boniface has reacted to the rife rumors that the English Premier League club, Chelsea is interested in his signature.

Boniface who ranks among one of the top strikers in the Bundesliga disclosed that he naturally would opt to play in Spain or German than England.

He made the comment in an interview on Sporty TV.

Chelsea were rumored to be planning a big-money swap for the Bayer Leverkusen forward in 2025 as they attempt to solve their goal-scoring problems.

“I did an interview before; I’m not saying it because I’m at this level; I’ve been saying it before I even had an international passport or before coming to Europe that I don’t really like the Premier League. I prefer German and Spanish football,” Boniface said.

“I’m not saying if a top team come for me, I won’t go, but if you ask me the two countries I’d love to live and play in, it’s Germany and Spain.”

Chelsea is also considering alternatives such as Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres.

Transfer News Live reported that Chelsea scouts have been monitoring Boniface in recent weeks, adding to the growing list of Nigerian players attracting attention from top European clubs.

Boniface, 23, played a key role in Bayer Leverkusen’s Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal win last season, netting 21 goals and providing 10 assists in 34 games across all competitions despite missing some matches due to injury.
