Boniface and Wirtz have developed a strong connection in the Leverkusen attack which has helped propel the side to an unlikely lead at the top of the Bundesliga. Boniface, signed from Royale Union Saint-Gilloise in the summer, revealed that it was watching videos of Leverkusen playing that convinced him to sign for the club - with the opportunity to play with Wirtz too good an opportunity to turn down.

When my agent told me about Bayer's interest, it was immediately clear to me that I would really like to play in a team with him."

WHAT BONIFACE SAID

Leverkusen are unbeaten in the league and the Nigerian striker has scored seven and assisted five goals in 12 games. The German side are also already through to the Europa League round of 16 as they, and Boniface, rack up points, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/serhou-guirassy-savinho-little-known-players-superb-starts-season/blt3560c15f8bdffc94" target="_blank">plaudits and attention</a> from across Europe.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Boniface's future at Leverkusen is already growing uncertain, with links to Premier League side Chelsea growing recently. However, this is just speculation and Boniface will be focused on Leverkusen's fixture with Dortmund on Sunday as they look to continue this impressive unbeaten run.
