Super Eagles forward, Victor Boniface, has been selected for the German Bundesliga Team of the Season, which prominently features players from Bayer Leverkusen.
Boniface, who joined Bayer Leverkusen from Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium, seamlessly integrated into the team and played a pivotal role in their first-ever Bundesliga title win.
Despite missing eleven matches due to an injury sustained during Nigeria’s pre-Africa Cup of Nations training camp in the United Arab Emirates, Boniface emerged as Bayer Leverkusen’s joint top scorer in the Bundesliga.
He scored eleven goals in twenty appearances and provided nine assists.
The Bundesliga Team of the Season includes six Bayer Leverkusen players: Jeremie Frimpong, Jonathan Tah, Alejandro Grimaldo, Granit Xhaka, Florian Wirtz, and Boniface. Tottenham Hotspur’s Harry Kane and Bayern Munich’s Jamal Musiala are also part of the team.
The Best XI also features Waldemar Anton and Serhou Guirassy from VfB Stuttgart, as well as Gregor Kobel from Borussia Dortmund.
The team is set up in a 4-3-3 formation, with Kane leading the attack, supported by Boniface and Guirassy on the flanks.
Bayer Leverkusen won fifteen of the twenty games in which Boniface played this season, showcasing his impact on the team’s success.
