Bayer Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has stated that Victor Boniface, the striker for the Super Eagles, will start training immediately.
The striker was on the verge of completing his move to Al Nassr, but the deal fell through, with the Saudi Arabian side opting for Jon Duran.
Since joining Die Werkself in the summer of 2023, Boniface has been incredible, helping them win a local double in his first season.
However, this season he has struggled to hit the ground running due to different injury crises.
