90min reports on Arsenal's potential acquisition of Bayer Leverkusen's Victor Boniface following a failed transfer to Al Nassr. Arsenal were offered the chance to sign Bayer Leverkusen's wantaway forward Victor Boniface after the striker's move to Al Nassr fell through this week.

Victor Boniface has emerged as a potential signing for Arsenal late in the January transfer window. The club is in search of a new striker due to Gabriel Jesus's injury and Kai Havertz's difficulties in scoring. Bayer Leverkusen is open to selling Boniface following an unsuccessful transfer to Al-Nassr. Initially, the Saudi Pro League club had reached an agreement with Bayer for a deal exceeding £50 million, but they decided to abandon the move in favor of completing a transfer for Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran. Boniface, regarded as one of the top strikers in the Bundesliga, scored 14 goals and provided eight assists in 18 league starts last season, and has been proposed to several Premier League clubs including Arsenal, Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Aston Villa. Arsenal, having had a bid for Ollie Watkins rejected, is considering various striker options, including the possibility of making a late bid for Dusan Vlahovic.
