A player under the radar this season is Bayer Leverkusen Talisman, Victor Boniface. The Nigerian striker has had an impressive start to the season, and has contributed immensely to the good start to the season for Bayer Leverkusen scoring 6 goals and 2 assists in just 5 starts in the Bundesliga. Scored 2 goals in Bayer Leverkusen vs heidenheim game to keep his club side joint top of the league table
My question is, do you think Victor Boniface can rival Harry Kane and Serhou Guirassy come the end of the season?
Bayer Leverkusen signed him from Belgian team Union for 20 million euros. They spent so much money on his transfer because he is a really high quality and promising starlet. Last year he scored 17 goals and 12 assists in 49 games in Belgium. He has really impressive statistics. It's a bit difficult for him to do the same in the Bundesliga, but he made a good start in the Bundesliga and maybe he will do the same impressive stats in the Bundesliga. I wouldn't compare him to Harry Kane already, but maybe he can compete with Serhou Guirassy.
This cannot be separated from Leverkusen talent scouts who have been secretly scouting Victor Boniface since last season and fortunately he was willing to accept an offer from Leverkusen this summer. I think Victor Boniface knows what he needs if he wants to be better known to football fans and so his decision to come to Leverkusen is the best for now.
The comparison with Kane is still quite far away and maybe he will be able to match Kane when he is more experienced. Maybe it is possible that other top European teams will be interested in bidding for him later if he continues to consistently score goals for Leverkusen. But it is clear that at this time he is unlikely to leave quickly and Leverkusen will definitely not let him go.
