Boniface and his Leverkusen side have impressed the world so far in the 2023-2024 football season. Leverkusen leads the Bundesliga table with 64 points from 24 games and are yet to lose a game in the league.

Boniface has shone for Xabi Alonso's side and is undoubtedly one of the shining lights of the outstanding team.

Boniface, 23, only moved to Germany in 2023 from Belgium. He missed out on Nigeria's team to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2023 held in Ivory Coast through injury. However, he is presently fit.

Boniface signed for Bayer Leverkusen only in July 2023, but he could move on if Chelsea pushes hard.
