Prior to Bayer Leverkusen’s Thursday night home matchup versus Qarabag at the BayArena, the 22-year-old was given the trophy.

In the summer, Boniface moved from Union St Gilloise, a Belgian Pro League team, to Leverkusen as a result of his outstanding play.

In just three games this season for Die Werkself, the Nigerian striker has already recorded two goals and an assist.
