Boniface has been impressive for Bayer Leverkusen since his €21.7 million transfer from Royale Union SG last year. Last season, the Super Eagles striker registered 21 goals and ten assists to help Bayer Leverkusen reach the Europa League final and claim their first-ever Bundesliga title. He could even have scored more goals, but for the thigh injury he sustained at the turn of the year.
