Super Eagles and Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface has yet to convince many Nigerian football fans that he is fit for national duty. In his nine appearances for the national team, he registered just one goal in the friendly against Saudi Arabia in 2023 and one assist.
However, this hasn’t been the case for Boniface at his Bundesliga club, Bayer Leverkusen, where he has scored six goals and made one assist, raising questions about his suitability for the national team. Despite this, the striker has been included in the 23-man squad for the upcoming double-header against Benin Republic and Rwanda.
In an interview with Premium Times, former Super Eagles defender Chikelue Iloenyosi shared his expertise on Boniface’s struggles to score regularly for the Super Eagles. Iloenyosi’s insights offer a nuanced perspective on Boniface’s goal drought and the broader challenges facing Nigerian football.
