Granit Xhaka supports Victor Boniface to shine for Nigeria

Granit Xhaka, former Arsenal captain and Bayer Leverkusen star, has shown support for his teammate Victor Boniface, urging patience with the Nigerian striker.

Boniface has been in excellent form for Bayer Leverkusen, scoring regularly in the Bundesliga. However, he has struggled to match this performance for the Super Eagles, failing to score in 11 appearances for the national team. This has led to criticism from Nigerian fans who expect more from the talented forward.

Xhaka, speaking about Boniface’s situation, said adapting to international football can be challenging due to limited time with teammates and coaches. He encouraged fans to remain patient, expressing confidence in Boniface’s abilities.

“He’s an important player for us at Leverkusen, and I believe he’ll be just as important for Nigeria in the future,” Xhaka said. “Stay calm. He’s a great guy and a talented footballer.”

Boniface is currently recovering from an injury he sustained while on international duty. Despite his struggles with Nigeria, Xhaka believes Boniface has the potential to lead the Super Eagles’ attack in the years ahead.

The Leverkusen striker’s supporters hope he will soon replicate his club success on the international stage
