Sassuolo winger Jeremie Boga open to Chelsea return

Sassuolo winger Jeremie Boga has admitted that he would be open to a move back to Chelsea this summer.

The 23-year-old came through the ranks at Stamford Bridge but saw first-team chances limited, making only one appearance for the club before leaving for Sassuolo in 2018.

Boga has since shone with the Serie A club and has been particularly impressive this season, scoring eight goals and creating four more in 24 top-flight games for the mid-table outfit.

The winger's form has seen him linked with a return to Chelsea, who have a €20m (£18.7m) buy-back clause in his contract, and Boga has now opened the door to a possible move.

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

"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. I think our generation was one of the best Chelsea ever had.

"We had so many talented players. It was not easy but every weekend, we were so used to winning 2-0 or 3-0."

Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur have also been credited with an interest in Boga this summer.
