Leverkusen Star Urges Patience, Highlights Boniface’s Potential for Super Eagles
Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Granit Xhaka has expressed confidence in Victor Boniface’s ability to become a pivotal player for the Nigerian national team despite the striker’s recent struggles on the international stage.
Boniface, who has been in stellar form for his German club, has found it difficult to replicate the same success with the Super Eagles. The 23-year-old is yet to score in 11 appearances for Nigeria, a performance that has drawn criticism from fans and pundits.
Xhaka, speaking to OmaSports TV, acknowledged the challenges Boniface has faced but emphasized his belief in the forward’s potential. “It’s always difficult because you don’t have a lot of time to adapt, enough time to work through the tactical setup every day with the same coach, and same players,” Xhaka said. “But everyone wants to play for their country.”
Highlighting Boniface’s contributions at Bayer Leverkusen, Xhaka added, “He’s important for us, and for sure, he’ll be important for Nigeria in the future. I’ll say stay calm because he’s a great guy and a great footballer.”
