Victor Osimhen has kicked off Victor Boniface's birthday celebration with an emotional message.

As Bayer Leverkusen comrade Victor Boniface celebrates his 24th birthday, fellow Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has taken to social media to share a heartfelt message, marking the occasion with warmth and camaraderie.

Osimhen, who currently plays for Galatasaray and is in fine scoring form, expressed his affection for Boniface, who has become a standout player for Leverkusen in the Bundesliga.

In his Instagram story, Osimhen wrote, “Birthday blessings starboy! Only love and well wishes over here man. See you soon!”

This public acknowledgement continues the strong bond between the two players, who have both made significant strides in their football careers.

Boniface has emerged as one of Nigeria’s most recognisable football talents, particularly after helping Leverkusen secure their first-ever Bundesliga title and a domestic double last season.

Before turning 24, he had already established himself as a fan favourite, contributing eight goals and one assist in 15 appearances this season, despite facing setbacks due to injuries.

The emotional birthday tribute from Osimhen not only highlights their friendship but also reflects the supportive culture among teammates in the Super Eagles.

As Boniface enjoys this milestone, he continues to look forward to further achievements on and off the pitch, with Osimhen cheering him on every step of the way.

In a related development, Leverkusen has also joined to wish their comrade the best on his special day.

The club has taken to its social media accounts to celebrate one of its best talents, with its fans joining in the comment sections.

“To our Comrade - happy birthday,” the club posted.
