Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham United are all interested in signing Duran before the January transfer window ends, with the latter even submitting a formal offer to Aston Villa.

Victor Boniface: Cristiano Ronaldo’s new strike partner

News of Boniface’s imminent move to Al-Nassr means Cristiano Ronaldo will have a new strike partner in Saudi Arabia.

The Portugal legend has spent the last two years at Al-Nassr and the arrival of Boniface is likely to result in a formation change, with the Nigerian set to partner Ronaldo in a two-man strike force.

Boniface has scored 29 goals in 49 games for Bayer Leverkusen, since joining the club from Union Saint-Gilloise in 2023, but he is now set to leave the club before the January transfer window closes.
