After a move to Saudi Arabia fell through, Bayer Leverkusen's manager Xabi Alonso expressed his satisfaction with having Nigerian striker Victor Boniface at the club, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Boniface had been set to join Al Nasr in the Saudi Pro League, but the deal collapsed on Wednesday. He rejoined Leverkusen's squad for training on Thursday ahead of their upcoming match.

 "He will train again tomorrow, and I think he’ll stay with us," Alonso said.

 "I’m happy with him, and he seems comfortable here, so it’s not a big issue for him." Boniface is expected to be available for Leverkusen's match against FC Hoffenheim on Sunday.
