Napoli are set to compete for the signature of Nigerian striker Victor Boniface with fellow Serie A clubs.
Clubs in Serie A are reportedly interested in landing Super Eagles-eligible star Victor Boniface.
The 22-year-old Akure-born striker is one of the most in-form strikers in Europe this season, with his performances for Union Saint-Gilloise in the Europa League not going unnoticed. Napoli are one of the teams interested, but they are expected to rival fellow Italian teams for his signature, according to reports.

The Italian interest in Boniface
According to reports from GetfootballNewsItaly, Napoli, Lazio, and Milan are interested in signing the Nigerian striker.
Napoli are said to be gearing up for an Osimhen exit and have reportedly marked his compatriot as a possible replacement.
But they will have to battle Milan, who are expected to be in the market for a new striker in the summer, with Giroud's age and the inconsistencies of Ante Rebic and Divock Origi, who could both leave in the summer.
