Spurs are currently 16th on the English Premier League table in what has been a dreadful season, even by their own standards. Their only chance of salvaging anything this season is in the UEFA Europa League, where they take on Boniface's former side, Bodo/Glimt, in the semi-final.
As per the Boy Hotspur, Tottenham are aware of Boniface's willingness to exit the Bay Arena after he was on their shortlist about a year ago before they signed Solanke from Bournemouth. It is believed that Boniface will be willing to walk the moment Xabi Alonso leaves Leverkusen.
Should Victor Boniface join Tottenham Hotspur?
If he wants to win trophies? Maybe not. Spurs have barely had any success in nearly two decades of top-flight football, with their last trophy coming in the 2007/2008 season when they won the Carabao Cup.
Additionally, he'll only be at the London Stadium to provide competition for Solanke, not to become an outright starter.
Boniface's potential move to the Saudi Pro League collapsed during the winter transfer window, hinting that if the financial package is right, he might move to the Premier League after all.
Still, it'll be interesting to see where the goalscorer winds up when he decides to wrap up his spell in the German Bundesliga.
