Former Super Eagles and Chelsea great, John Mikel Obi has tipped up and coming, Victor Boniface to make an impact in world football as a top striker.
Boniface continues to impress in his first season with German Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen scoring 10 goals and making seven assists and winning the Rookie of the Month awards back to back as the club itch towards winning the title this season.
“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 said on his 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.”
Boniface is one of the players Super Eagles coaches are banking to make a difference at the African Cup of Nations starting this weekend in Cote d’ Ivoire.
