Rolfes is optimistic about Boniface's potential to rule the league next season.

Bayer Leverkusen is confident Nigerian striker Victor Boniface will recapture his top form next season.

Boniface had a flying start at Leverkusen last season after joining Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium.

The forward impressed with 16 goals and nine assists in the first half of the season.

However, a four-month injury layoff due to an issue during Nigeria's preparation for the Africa Cup of Nations disrupted his momentum.

Boniface struggled to regain his peak form upon returning to action towards the end of the season.

Despite the setback, Leverkusen managing director Simon Rolfes remains optimistic about Boniface's potential.

He acknowledges the challenges of regaining explosiveness and confidence after a serious injury.

"It takes time to get back to yourself physically and mentally, He'll be in a much better shape at the start of the new season," Rolfes told Kicker.

The belief is that a full pre-season will allow Boniface to rediscover his best form and become a key player for Leverkusen again.
