Boniface beat Xavi Simons and Brajan Gruda to the award.

The former Bodo/Glimt player scored the only goal in Leverkusen’s UEFA Europa League clash against Qarabag on Thursday night.
The forward had 15 attempts on goal during the month – a league-high – taking his tally to 54 for the campaign, well ahead of Bayern Munich’s Harry Kane (36) who has the next-most attempts across the German top flight.
To cap off his October, Boniface also scored his maiden international goal for Nigeria, having only made his debut in September.
He has netted 10 times and recorded six assists in 14 appearances across all competitions for Xabi Alonso’s side this season.

What a player! To think that some fans are comparing him to desser is rather unfortunate. Best rookie back to back to back!
I think you have a problem of interpreting peoples idea because for all I know nobody compared him to Dessers. These are two different players Dessers possess different attributes to Boni, maybe because we used the word technical for Dessers that is why you say we are comparing him to Boni. Two people can be technical yet posing different traits. Technical doesn’t mean they’re both of same character so stop creating confusion in the forum by dragging on with this except if there’s something you’re looking for.
