As of right now in the 2023–24 Bundesliga, Victor Boniface of Bayer Leverkusen has been nominated as one of the league’s most skilled players, according to Soccernet. ng.
The Super Eagles attacker, coached by Xabi Alonso, didn’t take long to make an impression after leaving Union SG in July.
In just 16 league games, Boniface scored ten goals, making his debut in Germany nothing short of spectacular.
But an injury to his groyne caused him to miss the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations, which was hosted in Ivory Coast, bringing an abrupt end to his promising run.
The striker’s excellent performances have not gone unnoticed, despite his recent setback with injuries.
Now, attention is focused on a specific instance of individual genius that happened in August 2023 at the Bay Arena during Leverkusen’s Bundesliga matchup with RB Leipzig.
In that particular game, Boniface pulled off a brilliant trick where he fooled his marker into thinking he was about to take a right-footed shot before deftly passing the ball with his left foot. 3-2 was the final score, and Leverkusen won even though he missed the net.
Along with four other prominent players—Andrej Kramaric, Jadon Sancho, Felix Nmecha, and Xavi Simons—Boniface is included in the skills spotlight.
Fans can visit the official Bundesliga website to make their selections among the nominated players and take part in the voting process.
Jadon Sancho has an amazing 75% of the vote as of the time this article was published, leading the polls. With 17%, Xavi Simons takes second place, and Boniface is currently at 5%. Kramaric of Hoffenheim and Nmecha of Dortmund are next in line with 1% and 2% of the vote, respectively.
