Boni🌺face, who Xabi Alonso previously deemed “com♉plete”, hasn’t had 💯much game time this sꦜeason but he’s still managed a decent goal tally.
In addition, the website has compared Boniface to Barcelona and Bayern Munich icon Robert Lewandowski.
‘Lewandowski is an all-time Bundesliga great to which very few can compare, but Boniface does share plenty♚ of traits with the legendary Pole,’ they wrote.
‘He is an all-round centre forward, good with both feet, physically pow💙erful, good in the air and possesses a surprisingly good dribbling ability.
‘While the 24-year-old may have a long way to go to match Lewandowski’s achievements, he has alꦉready had a decisive impact on his team’s fortunes.’
Arsenal may fancy their chances a bit more than the others, as Boniface reve🍃aled in 2023 that the Gunners were one 💖of the teams he supported as a youngster.
