'It would have to be the right type of team' - Boniface opens up pn possible move to Premier League

The 24-year-old, who enjoyed a stellar debut season at the Bay Arena before injuries hampered his second, was linked with a move away from Leverkusen during the winter transfer window, with Al-Nassr showing interest before ultimately signing Jhon Duran.

Newcastle United and AC Milan have also been mentioned as potential suitors for the Nigerian international.

Speaking on The Culture League podcast alongside Frank Onyeka, the Europa League finalist explained his reservations. “It’s not that I wouldn’t consider the Premier League if the right opportunity arose,” Boniface stated. “But it would have to be the right type of team.”

He elaborated on his decision-making process: “Before I sign with any club, I carefully consider their style of play. Does it suit my strengths? Is it a high-pressure environment? Some players struggle under intense scrutiny.”

Boniface revealed he had lucrative offers from England after a successful season in Belgium with Union Saint-Gilloise. “The money was good, but the teams weren’t the right fit,” he admitted. “I thrive in possession-based systems. I could join a team and be the star player, but if we lose, the blame often falls on one person.”

The Super Eagles striker concluded, “My playing style has always been about bringing my teammates into the game. That's how I've played since my grassroots days.”
