Victor Boniface On Bundesliga Team Of The Season Shortlist
THE Super Eagles striker Victor Boniface has been nominated to play for the 2023–24 Bundesliga team of the year.
The league's website published a statement on Wednesday announcing the list of nominees.
Along with 5 goalkeepers, 10 defenders, fifteen midfielders, and 9 further attackers, Boniface was on the shortlist.
The announcement states that “their performance on official Bundesliga statistics” was the basis for selecting each player that was nominated.
Boniface was included in the roster despite missing three months of play due to a groin injury he sustained in January while training with the Super Eagles for the African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The 23-year-old Nigerian player did not play for Bayer Leverkusen again until April.
With 5 games remaining, Leverkusen secured their first-ever Bundesliga title, thanks to his 11 goals and 9 assists in 18 league games played.
In addition, between September and December of 2023, Boniface won four straight occasions as the Bundesliga Rookie of the Month.
The nomination list also included seven additional Leverkusen players. Granit Xhaka, Alejandro Grimaldo, Jeremy Frimpong, Florian Writz, Jonathan Tah, Exequiel Palacios, and Lukas Hradecky are the ones listed.
The Bundesliga best XI of the season will be decided by the general audience on April 22.
In the end, the votes cast by fans will determine forty percent of the results, with thirty percent coming from experts and clubs.
