Victor Boniface has spoken for the first time after his proposed transfer to top Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr collapsed at the last minute.
The Bayer Leverkusen striker justified his start against Hoffenheim Sunday by scoring the opening goal in a 3-1 home win in the Bundesliga.
This was after Al Nassr opted to sign Jhon Duran from Aston Villa instead of him.
Victor Boniface maintained his commitment is with Leverkusen.
“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 rumours 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.”
The striker also commented on his goal against Hoffenheim.
“I feel happy, I feel great. It has been a long time since I’ve been out, I think almost two months, so to be back and playing games is really good for me,” he said after the home win.
“It feels good to score, not just being a striker but in general as a team to score an early goal against a top team like this, it really helps build confidence and you can see that after the goal, the team gained more confidence to score more.”
