Serhou Guirassy Pips Victor Boniface To Win German September Player Of The Month

By Sedara Philip

To scale through the two layer process, VfB Stuttgart’s goal machine Serhou Guirassy ended September as the Bundesliga’s leading scorer with 10 goals.

Guirassy started all of his side’s games in September – and needless to say his seven goals in the month and one assist made him the league’s leading September scorer and the man with the most goal involvements.

For a player who had struggled early in his career, a superb start to the season has helped his confidence skyrocket as the key pillar in a sensational Stuttgart attack.

The 27-year old had a direct involvement in more shots than any other Bundesliga player in September (33 – taking 18 shots and setting up 15).

The Guinea international also broke new Bundesliga grounds by becoming just the second player in league history to score as many as 10 goals after five matchdays of a season.

Robert Lewandowski was the only man previously to manage that in his historic 41-goal season of 2020/21.

For Victor Boniface, his performances at Bayer Leverkusen earned him a second German Bundesliga rookie of the month award.
