WATCH THE VIDEO HERE Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface was spotted in training with Bayer Leverkusen, fine-tuning his finishing with the help of his manager, Xabi Alonso, before heading out for international duty with Nigeria, Soccernet.ng reports. In a training session captured on video and shared on Bayer Leverkusen’s social media pages, Alonso turned playmaker to deliver a pinpoint cross that Boniface expertly nodded into the net. Boniface is not a player who frequently scores from set pieces or headers, but this exercise will help him sharpen his shooting skills.

However, his goal-scoring record for Nigeria tells a different story, as he has managed just one goal—in a 2-2 draw against Saudi Arabia—in 11 appearances for the Super Eagles. Still, with his sharpness in front of goal, he will be a vital asset for Nigeria as they prepare for a crucial World Cup qualifier against Rwanda. The Super Eagles, currently struggling in their qualification campaign, will be hoping Boniface can replicate his club form on the international stage. The 24-year-old has joined up with the Super Eagles squad as they aim to secure maximum points in Kigali to boost their chances of reaching the 2026 FIFA World Cup.Watch the video here:
