Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface recently reiterated that he is not really a fan of the English Premier League amid speculations linking him to Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
According to reports, the Nigerian international is being monitored by the Blues with an eye on a possible transfer in the future, while Tottenham looked at signing him in the summer transfer window before opting for Dominic Solanke.
The 23-year-old attacker has been a standout player for Bayer Leverkusen since his arrival in Germany last summer, contributing to a total of 31 goals to help the team clinch the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal titles.

However, the midfielder doesn’t seem overly enthusiastic about the reports, revealing that he isn’t particularly intrigued by the allure of the League.”
The Leverkusen attacker emphasised that he has always been a fan of the Bundesliga and La Liga, and would rather prefer plying his trade in the Spanish League, should he leave Germany.
What Victor Boniface said
Speaking to SportyTV , Boniface when asked if he sees himself playing in the Premier League, apart from the Bundesliga, said,
“No. I admit I did an interview before and I’m not saying this just because I’m on this level.
“I’ve been saying this even before I had an international passport, even before I dreamt of coming to Europe, I don’t really like the Premier League.
“I said this before. I prefer Spanish football or German football. I’m not saying for example a good team comes for me I will not go.
“But I am just saying if you ask me to pick two countries, I really want to play in Germany and Spain, to live and play in Germany and Spain.”
