Boniface: 'Transfer rumours don't distract me, my focus is on Leverkusen'

Super Eagles and Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface says his goal is to help his team achieve their goals and is fully focused on giving his 100% to the Bundesliga champions.

Boniface last week was on the verge of joining Saudi Pro League side Al Nassr on a deal said to be worth around €60 million with an annual net salary said to be in the region of €15m but the deal fell through with Al Nassr instead signing Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran for €77m.

The 24-year-old who returned to the starting line-up for Leverkusen’s against Hoffenheim and scored the opening goal said he is fully focused on helping Xabi Alonso’s side achieve their goals.

“There has been a lot of speculation here and there. But I like playing here and want to do my best for the team,” Boniface assured in an interview with sportsboom.com.

“Whatever happens in the future will happen, but at the moment I’m only thinking about helping Leverkusen achieve our goals. Transfer rumors are normal in football. It’s always flattering when big clubs show interest, but my focus at the moment is 100 percent on Bayer Leverkusen.

“Every game is an opportunity. I want to contribute goals, assists, and energy to the team. I just want to stay fit, keep playing and keep improving. If I manage that, I think everything else will fall into place.”
