Nigerian striker Victor Boniface has been nominated for the German Bundesliga Rookie of the Month award for August for his outstanding performances with Bayer Leverkusen.
Boniface recently received his first international invitation and will compete for the award against Xavi Simons of RB Leipzig and Noah Atubolu, a German-born Nigerian goalkeeper from Freiburg.
The Bayer Leverkusen goal poacher has had a strong start to his career in Germany, scoring four goals in three league games for Bayer Leverkusen, including two goals and an assist in their 5-1 win against Darmstadt.
The Bundesliga Rookie Award is given to players under the age of 23 who have not started a Bundesliga match in any previous season and have accumulated no more than 450 minutes of action before the start of the current season.
Victor is also set to make his international debut for Nigeria when they face Sao Tome and Principe on September 10, 2023, at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo.
