Nominated for a Special Bundesliga Award: Victor Boniface, Super Eagles Striker. Victor Boniface, the Super Eagles forward, has earned a nomination for one of the Bundesliga’s most skillful players this season, thanks to his exceptional performances for Bayer Leverkusen, the current league leaders. The 23-year-old striker, who has clinched four consecutive Rookie of the Month accolades in the German top division, stands out as one of the standout acquisitions of the season. His nomination stems from a particular moment of brilliance during Leverkusen’s Bundesliga encounter with RB Leipzig at the Bay Arena in August 2023.
During that match, Boniface showcased his individual flair by executing a clever feint, tricking his opponent into expecting a right-footed shot, before adeptly passing the ball with his left foot. This skill contributed to Leverkusen’s 3-2 victory. Competing for the Bundesliga skillful player award alongside him are Borussia Dortmund’s returning star Jadon Sancho, Hoffenheim’s Andrej Kramaric, and RB Leipzig’s young talent Xavi Simons.
