Victor Boniface has reacted again to a podcast that compared him to Chelsea's Nicolas Jackson.

Nigerian striker Victor Boniface has expressed his anger following comments made by Pulse Sports analyst Tea during a recent episode of The Heat podcast, where she claimed he lacks football talent.

In the video, shared on Instagram, she stated, “I am sorry, he doesn’t have talent... maybe that’s why he is always posting memes.”

This criticism comes after Boniface's unsuccessful transfer attempt to Al Nassr in January and while he continues to recover from a hamstring injury that had kept him out of competitive football since last year.

In response to the viral clip, Boniface took to Snapchat, posting a screenshot of the pundit with the caption "See idiot," marking his second reaction to the podcast's content.

His first response was prompted by a comparison made between him and Chelsea striker Nicolas Jackson as the analysts claimed the Bundesliga winner is not better than his Senegalese counterpart.
