Victor Boniface is one of the best strikers in the German Bundesliga but still has two forwards in the league that he admits he looks up to and learns from.

Boniface was pivotal in Bayer Leverkusen’s unbeaten run to their first league title last season, scoring 14 goals and providing nine more assists in 23 games.

Perennial winners Bayern Munich finished third, while in another surprising season, VfB Stuttgart finished second, thus qualifying for the UEFA Champions League.

Speaking to bundesliga.com after an incredible first season, he analysed the strengths of Kane and Guirassy, with the Englishman also playing for the first time in Germany last season.

“I think for Harry Kane, it is the goalscoring ability. In the box, he is deadly. When he has a chance in the box, he is deadly. For Guirassy, it is going behind in the box,” he said.

He refused to accept that he is on the level of the two forwards and added that he learns a lot from them as he is still learning to improve.

“I am still young, I am still learning from people like them. So, I think I have a lot to learn when it comes to that area. To be deadly. When I have four or five chances, I should score at least four. I am still learning, I am trying to get to that point,” he said.
