Victor Boniface Becomes Super Eagles Second Most Valuable Player

Super Eagles striker, Victor Boniface, is now the second most valuable player in the Nigerian team thanks to his prolific form so far this season.

The transfer market value of Victor Boniface has increased from €12 million to a whopping €40 million which is his career highest.

The 22-year-old striker was among the Super Eagles players whose values had increased significantly, according to the latest update from transfermarkt.com.

Recall that Victor Boniface moved to mainstream Europe when he left Royale Union Saint-Gilloise to German Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen for a transfer fee worth over €20 million in the summer transfer window.

Thanks to his incredible seven goals and three assists in eight Bundesliga games, he has won the league’s Player of the Month and Rookie of the Month titles in August and September.

Boniface is currently third in the Bundesliga’s 2023–2024 goalscorers chart with seven goals in eight games, behind only Serhou Guirassy of VfB Stuttgart (14 goals) and Harry Kane of Bayern Munich (9 goals).

Leverkusen are top of the Bundesliga table after eight games, largely due to the 22-year-old’s exceptional season debut.

His outstanding performance helped his market value to soar to an unprecedented €40 million. He is now second to first place Victor Osimhen of Napoli (€120 million), as the Super Eagles’ most valuable player.

Due to Boniface’s form, he has attracted the attention of Newcastle United, Real Madrid and a host of other top European clubs.
