Bayer Leverkusen Nigerian striker Victor Boniface has been nominated for the Bundesliga Rookie of the Month for August.
The Bundesliga announced Boniface as one of three nominees for the award on their X handle.
The new Super Eagles invitee will contest the award with Xavi Simons of RB Leipzig and Germany-born Nigerian goalkeeper Noah Atubolu of Freiburg.
The winner will be decided by fans votes casted on the Bundesliga website.
Boniface continued his scoring form as he scored two goals and provided an assist in Leverkusen’s 5-1 home win against Damstadt.
He gave Leverkusen the lead in the 21st minute before getting on the score sheet again on 61 minutes to make it 3-1.
He then provided the assist for Leverkusen’s fourth goal on 67 minutes.
He has now scored four goals in just three league games for Leverkusen.
His superb performance for the German outfit earned him a first call-up to the Super Eagles for their 2023 AFCON qualifier against São Tomé and Principe.

I hope NFF is aware of the exploit of Noah Atubolu of Freiburg. He should be contacted to pledge allegiance to Nigeria.
Super Eagled needs good goalkeeper.
I concur with you @Afuye. I hope the NFF are watching coz we do not have reliable goal-keepers again in the mode of Peter Rufai, Enyeama, Ike Shorunmu and the likes.
It’s very clear nd unfortunate that, they the NFF they don’t even understand what is football , they don’t even watch football matches… It’s a pity… They like they shouldn’t take any step of getting the young goal keepers.. if other countries are moving fast forward.. those running out football herms are going backwards.. it’s a pity
