Town Confirm Boniface Signing - Ipswich Town News
Town have confirmed the signing of 18-year-old left-back Somto Boniface from Chelsea.
As reported earlier, a deal was agreed last week with the Londoner passing a medical today.
Boniface joined the West Londoners aged nine and was named Academy Scholar of the Year in 2022/23, but is yet to make a senior appearance. Earlier this season, he appeared twice for their U21s in the EFL Trophy.
The Londoner has been capped by England at U15, U16, U17 and U18 levels, but is also eligible for Nigeria.
Town view Boniface as one for the future and will be part of John McGreal’s U21s squad rather than Kieran McKenna’s senior side.
Boniface looks set to be one of two deadline day signings prior to the 11pm deadline with West Brom keeper Alex Palmer also set to join the Blues.
