The 23-year-old forward contributed 14 goals and 9 assists in 23 league appearances, establishing himself as Leverkusen's top scorer.

Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi played a key role in Leicester City's triumphant return to the Premier League by securing the EFL Championship title.
Ndidi's stellar form, which included 5 goals and 6 assists, was instrumental in Leicester's promotion campaign.
However, his future at the club remains uncertain as several clubs, including Barcelona, Galatasaray, and Aston Villa, have expressed interest amid his contract expiry this summer.
Kelechi Iheanacho
Joining Ndidi in Leicester City's Championship-winning campaign was Kelechi Iheanacho.

He made 10 league appearances for the newly crowned Greek champions.
