“I did an interview before; I’m not saying it because I’m at this level; I’ve been saying it before I even had an international passport or before coming to Europe that I don’t really like the Premier League. I prefer German and Spanish football,” he told Sporty TV.
“I’m not saying if a top team come for me, I won’t go, but if you ask me the two countries I’d love to live and play in, it’s Germany and Spain.”
Boniface joined Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen from Belgian Pro League outfit Union Saint-Gillloise two years ago.
He has registered four goals and one assist in six appearances across all competitions for Die Werkself this season.

I’ve always thought your style of play would struggled to sync with the high paced nature of the EPL too.
It’s good you know where best your bread is buttered.
Smart thing he said. This is a rare occurrence for a Nigerian to say they dont like the premier league. He probably knows his career will take a drop. When he was succeeding early in his career with bayer I seen reports of spurs wanted him and now chelsea was interested in him. Boniface is ahead of the game. He is built different and might have a successful career.
Watch other commentators say his style of football will not have succeeded in premier league downplaying his talent because he rejects the premier league. Boniface should not just be another Nigerian on a chelsea team. Kelechi, ndidi, ounachu and others were relegated. But not yet Boniface, guy got trophies in his first season with bayer
