Following the departure of Victor Boniface to German Bundesliga side Bayern Leverkusen, Belgium side Union Saint-Gilloise (USG) have drawn up names of possible replacements for the 22 year old.
Boniface contributed 22 goals and 12 assists in all competitions last season, his only season at the club following his move from Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt last summer. This summer he moved to Leverkusen for a fee of €18m potentially rising to €20m.
His importance to their campaign last season, when they went as far as the quarter finals of the Europa League with Boniface finishing as joint top scorer in the tournament means replacing him has become a top priority before the end of the transfer window.
Top of their list of targets is Algeria international Mohamed El Amine Amoura of Swiss side FC Lugano. He is tracked side by side with former Nigeria U20 forward Jerome Adams Akor who has emerged as the hottest prospects in Norway.
Akor is the present top scorer in the Norwegian top division with 15 goals in 15 games for Lillestrom. A form that has set most teams in top European leagues on alert over his possible transfer this summer.
USG are however facing a battle in their bid with a certain team from Ligue 1 said to the favorite for his signing despite reports of interest from English Championship side duo of Middlesbrough and Leicester City.
