New signing Victor Boniface has got off to a flying start, not only is he currently in the vote as Rookie of the Month for August, but he has now been nominated as Aiugust Player of the Month.
Bayer 04 fans have up to Sunday 10 September at 23.59 CEST to vote for the Werkself number 22. The other nominees alongside Boniface are Alphonso Davies, Harry Kane (both FC Bayern), Jonas Wind (VfL Wolfsburg), Kevin Behrens (Union Berlin) and Benjamin Henrichs (RB Leipzig). The result is determined as follows: 40% of the votes comes from the fans with 30% each for the 18 team captains plus a group of pundits.
Boniface joined Bayer 04 in the summer from Belgian club Union Saint-Gilloise. The 22-year-old has already scored five goals and provided two assists in his four games for the Werkself so far.
A group of about 50 members of the Bayer 04 Football Academy São Paulo visited Leverkusen over the past few days, accompanied by Bayer 04 club legend Paulo Sergio and Luiz Felipe (managing director of academy in São Paulo) for a week full of football, encounters and very special insights. In addition to the Bundesliga away game in Elversberg and the home game against Union Berlin, the visit also featured a joint training session with the Bayer 04 Football Academy in Leverkusen and a tour of the Bayer AG facilities. The guests also gained special insights into the club and the world of Bayer 04.

Captain Edmond Tapsoba gave his new (and old) teammate a friendly shove forward to take in the acclaim from the fans. The returning Frenchman was typically reserved in thanking the supporters but was clearly emotional about what was happening.
