Super Eagles<\/a> and Bayer 04 Leverkusen<\/a> forward Victor Boniface has joined Bundesliga side Werder Bremen on a season-long loan, Soccernet.ng reports.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The 24-year-old was deemed surplus to requirements by Erik Ten Hag<\/a>, and opted for a move away from the Bay Arena, but an attempt fell through in Milan as issues in his right knee made the Italians refrain from signing Boniface<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In an ironic turn of events, Leverkusen fired Ten Hag after just three games in charge<\/a>, and whilst that has sparked mixed reactions, many expected Boniface to be one of the beneficiaries of the decision made by the Bayer hierarchy.<\/p>\n

However, it didn’t turn out so. The 2023\/2024 Bundesliga<\/a> Rookie of the season has now put pen to paper with four-time German Champions Werder Bremen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

As per Fabrizio Romano<\/a><\/strong>, Boniface has passed his medical at the Weserstadion and will kick-off action with the rest of his teammates after the International Break as he missed out on Eric Chelle’s 23-man squad for Nigeria’s World Cup qualifiers games against Rwanda and South Africa.<\/p>\n

According to Buchi Laba<\/a><\/strong>, Horst Steffen’s side first made contact with Leverkusen about Boniface<\/a> yesterday evening, and the striker affirmed the move this morning.<\/p>\n

The former Union Saint-Gilloise striker now joins a Werder side that are without a win in their last seven games across all competitions. They’ll cover some parts of his salary during his loan tenure.<\/p>\n
