Boniface, Chukwueze, Uche make deadline day moves as Isak completes EPL record £125m transfer

Victor Boniface, Samuel Chukwueze, and Christantus Uche have completed transfers to their new clubs on deadline day.

As the transfer window shut on Monday evening, Boniface left Bayer Leverkusen for Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga, while both Chukwueze and Uche moved to the English Premier League with Fulham and Crystal Palace, respectively.

Tolu Arokodare, their compatriot, completed a £24 million transfer to Wolverhampton Wanderers earlier in the day, while Cyril Dessers left Glasgow Rangers in Scotland for Panathinaikos in Greece.

Boniface, who previously failed his medicals at AC Milan last week due to knee concerns, completed the loan move to Bremen on Monday evening.

“My discussions with the club convinced me to make this move to Werder. I want my performances to contribute to us achieving our aims as a group this season. I’m looking forward to being part of my new team and to my time at Werder,” he said.

Chukwueze also completed a loan move to Fulham, but the winger’s deal includes an obligation for the Cottagers to sign the former Villarreal man next summer. He joins Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey at the club.

“I’m so happy to be here. It’s an amazing club. It feels like home, because I have my people around me,” he said.

“I feel at home already, and I can’t wait to get started.”

Similarly, Uche signed a loan deal with an obligation for Crystal Palace to make the transfer permanent next summer.

The 22-year-old, who was a Spanish La Liga revelation last season, hopes to build on his development at Palace.

Elsewhere, the protracted transfer saga involving Alexander Isak concluded with the Sweden striker leaving Newcastle United for Liverpool in a reported £125 million deal.

The 25-year-old, whose goals led Newcastle back to the UEFA Champions League and Carabao Cup triumph, revealed his intention to win more at Anfield.

“I want to win everything. Yeah, [as simple as that],” Isak declared at his unveiling.

Manchester United also dipped into the market to solve their goalkeeper crisis, signing Senne Lammens from Royal Antwerp for £18.1 million.
