‘Leaving Chelsea was the perfect decision for my career’ – Sassuolo’s Boga

Sassuolo midfielder Jeremie Boga has described the call to leave Chelsea in 2018 as the best decision he has made in his football career.

Boga left London after developing through the Blues’ youth ranks from the tender age of 12, but he did not get the chance to settle in the first-team.

During his stint in London, the Ivory Coast international was loaned out thrice (to Rennes, Granada and Birmingham City) before he eventually sealed a permanent move to Sassuolo in 2018.
