Victor Boniface, opened up about his deep-rooted affection for Premier League giant Arsenal. The revelation came amid the Nigerian’s unfortunate exclusion from the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) due to a recent injury, necessitating his continued recovery in Germany.
Boniface, who has been a standout performer for Bayer Leverkusen with an impressive record of 16 goals and 8 assists in 23 appearances this season, disclosed his lifelong support for Arsenal.
Reflecting on his formative years, he shared, “Since I was young, I have supported Arsenal. I’ve been an Arsenal fan my whole life.”
The Nigerian striker, originally a midfielder during his childhood before venturing to Europe, drew inspiration from Arsenal stalwarts like Cazorla and Nasri.
In the podcast, Boniface expressed his commitment to helping the team navigate challenging situations, showcasing his versatility and football intelligence.
While the revelation sparks hope among Arsenal fans desperate for attacking prowess, no official rumors have linked Victor Boniface to the North London club.
The possibility of a mid-season move from Bayer Leverkusen remains unlikely, considering the player’s contractual commitments until 2028 and his integral role in the Bundesliga team.
Valued at 40 million euros, Boniface’s consistent performances have elevated him as a sought-after talent. Despite the setback of missing AFCON 2023, the 23-year-old continues his recovery, ensuring he returns to action at the beginning of April.
As Bayer Leverkusen gears up for a crucial match against Augsburg in the German championship, football enthusiasts are closely watching the talented striker’s trajectory, contemplating the potential impacts of his candid Arsenal revelation on future transfer speculations.
