Nigerian forward Victor Boniface has signed a five-year deal with Bayer Leverkusen, the Bundesliga club announced on Saturday. The transfer fee is reportedly €20 million plus add-ons.

Boniface, 22, joins Leverkusen from Union Saint-Gilloise, where he scored 15 goals in 35 appearances last season. He caught the eye of Leverkusen officials during last season’s UEFA Europa League clash between the two clubs.

Boniface is the latest in a series of signings by Leverkusen this summer, following the arrivals of Granit Xhaka, Arthur, and Alejandro Grimaldo. The club is looking to build on a strong finish to last season, when they finished third in the Bundesliga and reached the Europa League semifinals.

Boniface is a versatile forward who can play on the wing or up front. He is known for his pace and dribbling skills, and he is also a good finisher. He will be looking to add to his goalscoring tally in the Bundesliga next season.

Leverkusen’s manager, Xabi Alonso, is said to be a big fan of Boniface, and he believes that the Nigerian can be a key player for the club in the years to come. Boniface is excited to join Leverkusen and he is looking forward to playing in the Bundesliga.

“I am very happy to be here at Bayer Leverkusen,” Boniface said. “It is a great club with a lot of history, and I am looking forward to playing in the Bundesliga. I know that I will have to work hard, but I am confident that I can be successful here.”

Boniface’s arrival is a coup for Leverkusen, and he is sure to be a popular player with the fans. He is a talented player with a lot of potential, and he will be looking to make a big impact in the Bundesliga next season.
