"Give up you sef don try" – Leverkusen bench-warmer Boniface motivates his followers with brutal advice

David Ben 09:52 - 14.05.2025

Victor Boniface says his followers shouldn't count on him for advice.

Victor Boniface preaches there's no time for sympathy in recent post on social media.

 The 24-year-old Bayer Leverkusen striker, who has found himself warming the bench in recent weeks, offered what many have described as “anti-motivational” advice.

Instead of the classic “never give up” rhetoric, Boniface is rewriting the motivational playbook, one savage quote at a time.

Boniface’s recent remarks only compliments his public persona as he is best known for his charisma and cheeky humour online.

With just one start in Leverkusen’s last five matches, questions are swirling about his future at the Bay Arena.

Despite his recent lack of minutes, Boniface’s name continues to ring loud across European football. 

Pulse Sports earlier reported several top-tier clubs are circling, keen to capitalise on the uncertainty surrounding his future at Leverkusen.

Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly leading the race, viewing Boniface as a fresh attacking option amid concerns over the ageing Son Heung-min. 

Juventus are also keeping tabs, anticipating a potential exodus in their forward line this summer. 

Newcastle United also remain in the mix as the Toffees look to bolster their attack this summer.

Boniface, who has netted 11 goals in 27 appearances this season, is currently valued at approximately £43 million, though that figure could plummet after Xabi Alonso officially confirmed he’s leaving Leverkusen this summer, with his destination expected to be Real Madrid.
