Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso says Nigerian striker Victor Boniface is set to stay at the club following reports of a possible transfer to Saudi Arabia.

Bayer Leverkusen head coach Xabi Alonso has indicated that Nigeria striker Victor Boniface is set to stay at the club after a negotiated deal to join Saudi club Al-Nassr stalled shortly before the end of the transfer window.
