Bayer Leverkusen’s rising talent, Victor Boniface, has secured the coveted title of Bundesliga’s Rookie of the Season for his outstanding debut performance in Germany’s top football league.
The Nigerian striker stood out among competitors like Ian Maatsen, who impressed during his loan spell at Borussia Dortmund, Xavi Simons from RB Leipzig, loaned from PSG, and Hoffenheim’s Maximilian Beier.
Despite being only 23 years old, Boniface left a lasting impression on German football, earning four consecutive Rookie of the Month awards from August to November 2023.
Confirmation of his win came through a post on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, stating, “And the winner is Victor Boniface. Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface takes home the #BLRookie of the Season award from Sorare after making an instant impact to the Bundesliga β in which he won four Rookie of the Month trophies in a row. Congrats Victor!β
Expressing gratitude, Boniface shared a post on social media, thanking fans for their unwavering support in his journey to the award.
Having joined Leverkusen from Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise last summer, Boniface showcased his talent by scoring 13 league goals despite a three-month injury setback and adding five goals in the Europa League. His contributions also earned him a spot in the German Bundesliga’s team of the season, further solidifying his impact on Bayer Leverkusen’s successful league campaign.
