Victor Boniface Receives Widespread Praise After Hitting Major Milestone for Bayer Leverkusen

• Victor Boniface found the back of the net in Bayer Leverkusen's victory against TSG Hoffenheim
• The goal for the combative Nigerian striker was his 30th for the Bundesliga outfit on his landmark 50th appearance
• Fans have taken to social media to hail Boniface for his impressive goal record for the 2023/24 Bundesliga winners

Victor Boniface continues to make headlines in recent days following his return from a lengthy injury layoff.

The Nigerian striker, who was instrumental in Bayer Leverkusen's historic 2023/24 title-winning campaign, was recently heavily linked with a transfer to Saudi Professional League outfit, Al Nassr.

While the 24-year-old ultimately saw the move fall through, Boniface appears to have shaken off the effects of the transfer saga, as he found the back of the net for Die Werkself with aplomb in their league win against TSG Hoffenheim.

The former Union Saint-Gilloise star, making his landmark 50th appearance for Leverkusen, recorded his 30th goal for the club in the encounter.
