News about Victor Boniface

Bayer Leverkusen star Victor Boniface survived a crash with a lorry which saw him rushed to hospital on Sunday morning.  Boniface, 23, had scored in Leverkusen's 2-1 Bundesliga victory over Eintracht Frankfurt on Saturday night but ended up in a collision with damages worth up to £167,000. The Nigerian international shared a video of his smashed vehicle on social media and a nasty picture of his blood-drenched left hand. The right front of his car was wrecked.

Nigeria's clash with Libya has descended into chaos after their players were left stranded at an airport in the country with no food or drink. The two teams faced off in Nigeria in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Friday, with the Super Eagles winning 1-0 courtesy of Fissayo Dele-Bashiru's late strike. However, Libya said they faced 'poor treatment' surrounding that game and ahead of the return match on Tuesday, Nigeria's stars have now been left fuming.

Victor Boniface didn't have to score to make a big impression for Bayer Leverkusen on their return to the Champions League on Thursday. With an exquisite piece of footwork in the build-up to the second goal in a 4-0 win at Feyenoord, the Nigeria striker earned the praise of his teammates - and plenty of fans on social media. Boniface was on the edge of the area when he performed two nutmegs to make some space for himself.

Bayer Leverkusen have claimed their club's first-ever Double after beating FC Kaiserslautern in the DFB Pokal final to burnish their immense 2023-24 campaign. Xabi Alonso's side (pictured right) had lost their cloak of invincibility last Wednesday as Atalanta ended the German side's record 51-match unbeaten streak in the Europa League final in Dublin. Leverkusen's dreams of a fairytale unprecedented treble may have been crushed by Ademola Lookman, who netted a hat-trick in Dublin, but the 1-0 victory at the Olympiastadion in Berlin capped an unbelievable term for the Bundesliga side. 

Bayer Leverkusen completed their unbeaten Bundesliga campaign by beating Augsburg 2-1 on Saturday. Having wrapped up the title several weeks ago, the final league match of the season was always set to be a joyous occasion for Xabi Alonso's men in front of their home fans, and they did not disappoint. The hosts took the lead through Victor Boniface inside 12 minutes and then doubled their advantage 15 minutes later thanks to Robert Andrich.

Bayer Leverkusen wing-back Jeremie Frimpong aimed a dig at Granit Xhaka during the celebrations of his side's Bundesliga title win on Sunday. Bayer secured their first-ever title with a 5-0 victory at home to Werder Bremen, as goals from Victor Boniface, Florian Wirtz and the Swiss international sparked jubilant scenes at the BayArena. Xhaka's arrival at the club last summer has coincided with a stunning season for the side, who are still yet to taste defeat in any competition.

KATHRYN BATTE AT THE BAYARENA: If you had offered David Moyes a draw at kick-off, he would most certainly have taken it. If you had offered him a narrow defeat, he would probably have taken that too.  West Ham nearly had both, but two late Bayer Leverkusen goals means they face an uphill task of keeping their European dream alive. Leverkusen's 33 shots to West Ham's one told the story. They had done well to keep the now 42-game unbeaten side at bay for 83 minutes before substitute Jonas Hoffman's volley finally broke the deadlock. 

TRANSFER COLUMN: There are less than two weeks until the January transfer window, and clubs are starting to fumble to get their winter moves. Victor Boniface of Bayer Leverkusen is said to be able to smash their transfer record. However, the Hammers will continue to play Newcastle and Chelsea as both Premier League clubs are keen on attracting the 23-year-old.

AFCON is finally here, following months of rumors over which players will be ruled out of club action for up to four weeks. Following the most recent round of play, the continental tournament will take place from January 13 to February 11, with players having to join their national teams. This year's edition of the Ivory Coast will be held in Senegal, with Senegal as the reigning champions after defeating Egypt on penalties in the 2021 tournament (which took place in 2002).
