As Boniface embarks on this new chapter in his career, all eyes will be on him to see how he adapts to the Bundesliga and continues to showcase his goal-scoring prowess. With his impressive track record and the faith placed in him by Bayer Leverkusen, Boniface has the potential to become a key player for both club and country in the coming seasons.
