German club Borussia Dortmund turned down a golden opportunity to sign prolific forward Victor Boniface in the summer, Sleeknews has learnt.
The Nigerian striker has been making the headlines for his outstanding performances with Leverkusen since joining in the summer for €20m.
The former Bodo/Glimt forward has scored seven goals and made two assists in his opening seven Bundesliga appearances (nine goals in 10 games across all competitions).
Last month, Boniface won the Player of The Month award and was also named the Rookie of The Month for his splendid displays.
He is currently in the race for the Player of The Month award for the second consecutive month. The Nigerian is up against teammate Alex Grimaldo, Bayern Munich duo Leroy Sane and Harry Kane, as well as Chris Fuhrich and Serhou Guirassy.
