Former Flying Eagles coach Fatai Amoo has stated that coach Augustine Eguavoen needs to find a creative player to unlock Victor Boniface for Nigeria, Soccernet.ng reports.
Boniface has struggled to find his feet since he made his Super Eagles debut in September 2023. The Bayer Leverkusen star has always had to play second-fiddle to Victor Osimhen, but he has had some chances to prove his mettle due to the latters incessant injuries.
Boniface has led the line for Nigeria in three consecutive games. But his performances have been below par. Last time out against Libya, the 23-year-olds presence was not felt in the final third, and it was after he left the pitch that Nigeria scored.
Despite Bonifaces inability to find the net, Interim Super Eagles coach Eguavoen has always backed him, as he believes the Bayer Leverkusen star will soon start scoring goals aplenty.
Meanwhile, former Flying Eagles coach Amoo has proffered a solution to the current debacle concerning Boniface. He has urged Eguavoen to look for a creative player, who can carve out clear-cut chances that Boniface can score from.
