Jeremie Frimpong has already found the back of the net eight times for the Werkself in the current Bundesliga campaign and he has also provided six assists in the league. The Dutchman scored in the 3-0 win against Schalke 04 and in the 4-1 victory over Union-Saint Gilloise in April.
Moussa Diaby also netted in the second leg at Saint-Gilloise: His opener on two minutes paved the way for the Black and Reds to progress to the Europa League semi-finals. The Frenchman also scored against Eintracht Frankfurt at the start of April.
The two Bayer 04 players are joined by fellow nominees Timo Werner (RB Leipzig), Donyell Malen (Borussia Dortmund), Benjamin Pavard (FC Bayern) and Josha Vagnoman (VfB Stuttgart).
The final result is decided as follows: 40 per cent of the votes from fans, plus 30 per cent each from the 18 team captains and a group of pundits.
Bayer 04 can go through to the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League for the ninth time tonight, 24 February (kick-off: 21:00 CET) and be in the top 16 clubs in Europe. A good omen: Leverkusen have progressed to the next round after winning the first leg in 20 of their 22 knockout rounds in European competitions to date. For their part, Greek record champions Olympiacos rested several players for last weekend’s league fixture ahead of the play-off second leg at the BayArena and will now do everything in their power to turn the tide with their usual aggressive and high pressing. The discussions on Werkself radio are likely to be just as intense as the battle on the pitch, with commentator Florian Bechholz welcoming honorary captain Stefan Kießling and goalkeeper Mark Flekken.
