Former Super Eagles captain, John Mikel is expecting big things from Victor Boniface.
Boniface has been in terrific form for Bayer Leverkusen this season, scoring 10 goals in 16 league appearances. He has also managed to register seven assists.
Mikel is confident that Boniface is going to go far in the game and become a complete centre-forward.
“He (Boniface) will become a complete striker in the next couple of years. He has the physique, he is quick, good on the ball, technically very good and it’s difficult to see strikers that are that big and strong and powerful and then good on the ball as well,”Mikel told Obionepodcast.
“His assists as well, not just scoring goals, is something that will make this kid special, really, really special. I can’t wait to see what his journey will be in the next couple of years.” READ ALSO:
