Nigerian forward Victor Boniface wins Bundesliga’s Best Rookie


Bayer Leverkusen striker, Victor Boniface, has been named the winner of the 2023/24 Bundesliga Rookie of The Season for his instant impact in his debut season in the German topflight.

The Nigerian striker beat Chelsea loanee Ian Maatsen, who has been impressive for Borussia Dortmund since joining in January, RB Leipzig Xavi Simons, also on loan from PSG and Hoffenheim forward Maximilian Beier.

“And the winner is Victor Boniface,” Bundesliga announced via X on Wednesday.

“Bayer Leverkusen striker Victor Boniface takes home the #BLRookie of the Season award from Sorare after making an instant impact to the Bundesliga — in which he won four Rookie of the Month trophies in a row. Congrats Victor!”


The Akure-born striker, who was also named in the Bundesliga team of the season, has been one of the propellers of Bayer Leverkusen’s push for their first title, which they achieved with five games to spare.

He has scored 13 goals and provided nine assists in 22 Bundesliga games. He was out for almost four months with an injury, which also saw him miss the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations for Nigeria.

He has 20 goals and 10 assists in 32 games across all competitions this season.


With the league officially ending on Saturday, they could set an unprecedented record of winning the league with an unbeaten record of 34 matches.

Currently, they have set a European record of 50 games unbeaten and could win a treble with the Europa League final coming up next Wednesday against Atalanta in Dublin as well as the DFB Pokal final against FC Kaiserslautern on May 25.

Thanks to his impressive run in Germany, he could also well be in the run for the African Player of The Year Award alongside compatriot Ademola Lookman who has also been incredible for Atalanta in the Serie A and Europe.

Congrats to him but any award that is given by opening to public voting, is overrated. Nigerians were voting massively on Twitter.

It's like that peak year of Lewandowski during covid, if you open a public vote for the world to vote between him and Messi who was going to win the Ballon d'or, you know Messi is gonna win it. That's exactly what played out here.

He is Bayer's top scorer in the league with 13 goals despite being out of action for 4 good months.

He doesn't have any point, Victor is Bayer's top scorer in the league with 13 goals despite being out for 4 months, he won rookie of the month award for four straight months and won it the most despite being out for four months.

Most awards in football are by public voting, there is nothing new there.
