Watch: Leverkusen’s Boniface supports former club to victory at Airport, despite transfer exit

Super Eagles attacker Victor Boniface was seen cheering on his former club Bodo Glimt to victory, despite having left the Norwegian club, Soccernet.ng reports.

The 22-year-old forward began his European career with the Yellow outfits before moving away from Norway to join Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium in 2022 Summer transfer window.

Despite his departure from the Bodo-based club, the Nigerian attacker continues to support his former club, which currently leads the Eliteserien table with 33 points after a convincing 5-1 victory over second-placed Brann.

In a video shared on his Instagram story, the Super Eagles attacker was spotted at the airport awaiting a flight, watching the match between Bodo/Glimt and Brann on his tablet.

Watch the video here:

Boniface currently plays for Bayer Leverkusen following a transfer move in the region of €21.70 million from Union SG in the summer of 2023.

The Nigerian international has proven his worth, securing a Bundesliga medal and DFB-Pokal medal in his first season, along with winning the Bundesliga Rookie of the Season award.

Following his impressive performance for Leverkusen, he was previously linked with a move to AC Milan to replace French striker Olivier Giroud, whose contract has expired with the club.

Boniface has affirmed his commitment to stay at Bay Arena for the duration of his contract, and he has been gearing for for the new season with Xabi Alonso’s troops.
