Antonio Rudiger: German star gifts Nigerian striker Victor Boniface signed Real Madrid jersey

German international Antonio Rudiger has gifted Nigerian rave-of-the-moment striker Victor Boniface a signed Real Madrid jersey.

Boniface is on the radar of several clubs in Europe following his impressive performances for Bayer Leverkusen so far this season.

The Nigeria international has scored 11 goals in 15 matches in all competitions during the campaign to attract a number of high-profile teams.

Rudiger once acknowledged Boniface’s striking prowess when the center-back imitated the forward’s mode of celebration.

The special moment came during Germany’s international friendly match with Mexico which ended 2-2. Rudiger headed home from a corner and proceeded to celebrate like the Leverkusen forward, ESPN reports.

After the game, the German shared a clip of his goal celebration and tagged the Nigerian, adding the caption: 'I like that Boniface'.

Barely one month later, Boniface took to social media saying he received a signed Real Madrid shirt from the defender.

Fans have continued to react to Rudiger’s gesture. One said:

“E no say make Boniface no diger am if dem meet.”
Another added:

“Victor Boniface to Madrid Here We Go.”

A fan wrote:

“Madrid don add Boniface for transfer list nah why him Dey give the jersey.”
One suggested:

“When two of them play against each other Rudiger won’t show love on the pitch.”
