Bayer Leverkusen’s Granit Xhaka has heaped praise on Nigerian talents Victor Boniface and Nathan Tella for their significant impact on the team’s historic Bundesliga title win. Xabi Alonso’s squad secured their first-ever league title with a dominant 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen on Sunday.
Despite facing setbacks due to an adductor injury, Boniface has managed to score an impressive 11 goals in just 18 league appearances for Die Werkself this season. Tella, on the other hand, has contributed five goals to the team’s success.
In a statement to Soccernet, Xhaka commended the duo for their positive attitude and quality both on and off the pitch. He highlighted their infectious smiles and the valuable contribution they bring to the team.
As Bayer Leverkusen now sets their sights on the UEFA Europa League quarter-final clash against West Ham United on Thursday, the team will undoubtedly rely on the talent and positivity of players like Boniface and Tella to continue their winning streak.
With their remarkable performances and unwavering spirit, these Nigerian stars have become integral members of the Bayer Leverkusen squad, leaving a lasting impact on the team’s journey to success.
