Jeremie Boga has hinted that he could return to Chelsea, as the Blues hold a €15 million (£14m/$16m) buyback option in his contract at Sassuolo, with a second stint at Stamford Bridge always part of his long-term plan.

The 23-year-old winger was first acquired by the Blues in 2009 as he was added to a famed academy system in west London.

Progress was made into the first-team fold, but just one competitive appearance was taken in.

Fierce competition for places forced Boga to go in search of game time elsewhere, with loan spells enjoyed at Rennes, Granada and Birmingham.

Eventually, in the summer of 2018, a permanent move was made as the Ivory Coast international traded life in England for that in Italy.

He has thrived in Serie A, with eight goals recorded through 24 outings in the current campaign, and he is registering on recruitment radars across Europe once more.

It has been suggested that Chelsea will take up their first refusal on Boga, with it possible that exits as free agents for the likes of Willian and Pedro will free up space for another wide man.

Boga told The Athletic: “When I was there, it was Willian, [Eden] Hazard, Pedro. When Jose Mourinho was there, it was [Mohamed] Salah.

“There were a lot of good wingers. For me, it has always been if I can’t play, then I will try to go on loan or try to go somewhere to improve, then maybe come back one day.”

Boga believes he has taken the right career path, with Sassuolo proving to be a productive breeding ground. (Goal)
