Victor Boniface raises standards at Werder Bremen
Forward Marco Grüll believes the Nigerian international has become a decisive figure since arriving in the summer on loan from Bayer Leverkusen.
“Victor Boniface makes the team better. You can see how he uses his body and the qualities he brings to training,” Grüll told the club’s official website, praising the 24-year-old’s strength and skill.
Boniface’s presence has quickly shifted the mood in Bremen’s frontline. His mix of physicality and technical ability has given Horst Steffen’s side an extra weapon, and teammates admit that standards have gone up since his arrival.
Grüll, who will likely compete directly with Boniface for a place in the attack, sees the increased competition as a positive.
“It’s important for us to have this competition, and that’s why we need someone like him here,” he said.

For Bremen, Boniface is viewed as a catalyst who can strengthen their domestic push and provide depth for European competition.
With an assist in his first game, his performances suggest he could become one of the defining figures in the club’s campaign.
