Super Eagles striker faces mounting competition amid goal drought and January transfer rumors.

Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface could see his role at Werder Bremen shrink after the club revealed plans to sign Niclas Füllkrug in the January transfer window.

The 25-year-old, who joined Bremen from Bayer Leverkusen this summer, has struggled to find the back of the net, going scoreless in 11 Bundesliga appearances while providing just two assists. His goal drought dates back to March, raising concerns among the club hierarchy.

Boniface was expected to be a talisman for Bremen, but the looming arrival of Füllkrug adds fresh competition for attacking spots, threatening the Nigerian star’s minutes on the pitch.
