Florian Wirtz from unbeaten champions Bayer Leverkusen has been elected Bundesliga Player of the Season 2023-24 in a poll conducted by the German Football League (DFL).
The DFL said on Monday that the 21-year-old playmaker Wirtz won ahead of Serhou Guirassy and Deniz Undav from league runners-up VfB Stuttgart, and Leverkusen team-mates Victor Boniface and Alejandro Grimaldo.
Eligible for the season vote were all winners of the DFL Player of the Month awards. Wirtz was the only player to win this ballot three times, in October, December and
February.
It is the first award of such a kind for Wirtz who is also expected to shine for Germany at the upcoming European Championship on home ground.
"Wirtz has shown this season, his first full campaign since recovering from the ACL injury he suffered in 2022, that he has it all,” the DFL said.
