Leverkusen’s Granit Xhaka had high praise for Nigerian players Victor Boniface and Nathan Tella, acknowledging their significant contribution to the team’s recent title win.
The triumph marked a historic moment for Xabi Alonso’s squad as they clinched their first-ever Bundesliga title with an outstanding 5-0 victory over Werder Bremen.
Despite facing an adductor injury setback, Boniface managed to score an impressive 11 goals in 18 league matches for Die Werkself this season.
Meanwhile, Tella showcased his skills by adding five goals to the team’s tally.
Xhaka expressed his admiration for the duo, stating, “Boni and Nathan bring positivity and quality both on and off the field. Their presence contributes greatly to the team dynamics, making it a pleasure to be part of this group.”
Die Werkself now prepares to face West Ham United in the UEFA Europa League quarter-final on Thursday.
