Fitness-related queries put to rest by Victor Boniface following his transfer to Werder Bremen
Nigerian Striker Victor Boniface Joins Werder Bremen Amid FIFA World Cup Qualifiers
Victor Boniface, a 24-year-old striker, has completed a season-long loan move to Werder Bremen from Bayer Leverkusen. The transfer was finalized on transfer deadline day, following a medical examination.
Boniface, who has scored 32 goals and provided 12 assists for Leverkusen across all competitions since arriving in Germany in 2023, was officially unveiled by Bremen earlier this week. During his unveiling, Boniface dismissed speculation about his fitness, stating that if he weren't fully fit, he would be in a hospital bed, not discussing the move.
The striker's experience in German football, along with his proven scoring ability, makes him a valuable addition to Werder Bremen's squad. Boniface was a key player in Leverkusen's unbeaten Bundesliga title-winning campaign in 2023/2024.
Meanwhile, the scheduled match between Nigeria and Rwanda is set to kick off at 5 p.m. on Saturday, September 6. However, Boniface will not be participating in this crucial event for Nigeria's national team, as he was not selected for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and South Africa by coach Eric Chelle.
Werder Bremen are hoping that Boniface will strengthen their attacking options in the Bundesliga. Despite Boniface's absence from the national team, Werder Bremen fans are eager to see how the striker will perform in the upcoming season.
Previously, proposed moves to AC Milan fell through. Boniface's comments were made during his unveiling by Werder Bremen, and he indicated that whatever media speculation exists, it is their concern, not his.
The match between Nigeria and South Africa is also a part of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers are a crucial event for Nigeria's national team, and Boniface's absence from the squad will undoubtedly be felt.
Despite not scoring for Nigeria's national team, the Super Eagles, in 13 appearances, Boniface's move to Werder Bremen is a significant development in his career. Fans and pundits alike are excited to see how Boniface will perform in the Bundesliga and whether he can help Werder Bremen secure a strong position in the league.
Whatever the future holds, one thing is certain: Victor Boniface is a talent to watch in the world of football.
