Hannover 96 targets Victor Boniface for attack reinforcement

Bundesliga side, is reportedly considering a move for Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface to strengthen their attack before the transfer window closes. German outlet Neupresse indicates that Boniface is among several forwards being evaluated by Hannover, potentially offering the 25-year-old Nigerian an opportunity to revitalize his career in German football. Boniface returned to Bayer Leverkusen this summer after a challenging loan spell at Werder Bremen during the 2025/26 season, where he did not score in 11 appearances.

This followed an injury-plagued period at Leverkusen. Despite being under contract with Leverkusen until June 2029, Boniface has shown improved form during pre-season, scoring twice in a 7-0 win against Sportfreunde Baumberg and an 82nd-minute winner against Newcastle United. Leverkusen's sporting director, Simon Rolfes, noted Boniface's improved physical condition, though he is still working towards full 90-minute fitness.

With strong competition for attacking roles at Leverkusen from players like Patrik Schick and Christian Kofane, a move to Hannover, possibly on loan due to his wages and long-term contract, could be a realistic option for all parties.
