The striker spent just one season with Union St Gilloise before moving to Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen.
He has already caught the eye at his new club, netting six times and providing two assists in six appearances across all competitions.
“I made a mistake once, but that had nothing to do with work ethic. Boniface was on trial with me at Vålerenga,” Deila told nieuwsblad.
“I already had a similar striker, so I didn’t really care about Boniface. He
dowent to Bodø/Glimt afterwards. Stupid of me.”
Boniface will hope to continue his impressive scoring form when Bayer Leverkusen take on Heidenheim at the BayArena on Sunday.
Xabi Alonso’s side are second on the Bundesliga table with 10 points from four matches.
