He is strong, intelligent, skillful – Oliseh names player who can deliver Nigeria's fourth AFCON

Former Nigeria midfielder Sunday Oliseh has expressed confidence that Victor Boniface will guide Nigeria to victory at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in the future.

Oliseh made this assertion in a tweet on Sunday following Boniface's instrumental role in leading Bayer Leverkusen to their maiden Bundesliga title.

Despite missing this year’s AFCON due to injury, Boniface played a pivotal role in Xabi Alonso’s squad, contributing significantly to their successful campaign that saw Bayern Munich dethroned.

In his tweet, Oliseh praised Boniface's exceptional performance, stating:

“Victor Boniface was once again extraordinary as Leverkusen grabbed its first ever Bundesliga title with 5 games left to play. Boniface is strong, skillful, intelligent, mobile, calm under pressure and I am convinced he will lead Nigeria to AFCON glory & more soon. Congrats.”

Boniface is Bayer Leverkusen's leading scorer this season with 18 goals and 10 assists in 27 appearances across all competitions.
