Austine Okocha, a renowned Nigerian football legend, has showered praise on Victor Boniface for his outstanding display at Bundesliga club, Bayer Leverkusen.
Boniface made his move to Die Werkself from Belgian Pro League team, Union St Gilloise, this summer.
The talented 22-year-old has already netted six goals in just five league matches for Xabi Alonso’s squad.
His remarkable performance earned him the title of Bundesliga’s best player for the month of August, and he also emerged as the Rookie of the Month.
“He’s been truly amazing. It’s always a delight to witness our compatriots excelling,” Okocha expressed to LiveScore.com.
“His success gives us hope and underscores the abundance of talent we possess in Nigeria. However, we need to make concerted efforts to harness this potential.
“This is an exciting era for Nigerian football, and what’s even more thrilling is the age of these players. Many of them are yet to reach their peak.
“Now, our priority is to strategize ways to bring out the best in them when representing the Nigerian national team.”
