Nigeria forward, Victor Boniface, has linked up with Bundesliga club, Bayer Leverkusen.

Boniface moved to the Bay Arena from Belgian Pro League side, Union St. Gilloise.

The 22-year-old,who will wear jersey number 22 signed a five-year contract.

“We’ve had Victor Boniface on our radar for a long time,” Rolfes told the club’s official website.

“His performance in a direct duel then absolutely confirmed our positive assessment. Victor is a very present center forward who is difficult to play and who poses a challenge for every defender just because of his physicality. In addition, he is also fast and technically adept.”

He arrived Union St.Gilloise from Norwegian club, Bodo/Glimt last summer.
