Victor Boniface Earns Second-Best Rating in Europe

Victor Boniface has earned the second-best rating of any player in the top five leagues in Europe.

Renowned statistical website who scored gave the Bayer Leverkusen striker a rating of 9.7 after his brilliant display against Darmstadt on Saturday.

His second goal, a beautiful solo effort, has also been named among the best five goals in the Bundesliga this week.

Only Brighton’s Evan Ferguson, with a 10.0 rating, bettered Boniface’s performance across the leagues in England, Germany, Italy, France, and Spain.

According to renowned statistical website, Whoscored, the Nigerian forward was rated 9.7 after his brilliant display against Darmstadt last Saturday.

Boniface scored two goals – for the second successive Bundesliga game – and added an assist as Bayer Leverkusen maintained their perfect start to the season – and moved top for the time being – with a 5-1 win over Darmstadt at the BayArena last Saturday.

According to Whoscored only Brighton’s Evan Ferguson 10.0 rating bettered Boniface’s score across the leagues in England, Germany, Italy, France, and Spain.

Barcelona’s Jules Kounde and Bayern Munich’s Joshua Kimmich were rated 8.8 while Manchester City’s Nathan Ake earned 7.9.

Unsurprisingly, the Nigerian has come in for praise, with Koln coach Steffen Baumgart telling Sport Bild that he would have signed Boniface over Harry Kane were he in charge at Bayern Munchen.

World Cup winner with Germany, Lothar Matthäus, also mentioned Leverkusen’s new star and Kane in the same breath, saying, “We’ll see plenty of goals from him (Boniface) this term – I can even see him competing with Kane for the top scorer crown.”
