Wilmots who watched Boniface in Belgium has showered praise on the striker while offering some advice in an interview with Kicker.

“I saw Boniface live ten times in Belgium and immediately said: What kind of striker is that?! He has everything.”

He further declared, “I quickly said that he is the best striker in the Belgian league and can move to Germany or even England. Leverkusen will have a lot of fun with him.”

“If he increases his quota and scores 15 to 20 goals, he has the opportunity to play for a top club in the Premier League. His goal must be to move to one of the top six there in two or three years.”
