Leaving Chelsea was the 'perfect decision for my career', says Sassuolo star Boga

Jeremie Boga has said his decision to leave Chelsea for Sassuolo was "perfect" for his career.

The 24-year-old winger joined Chelsea's youth system at the age of 12 and was later loaned out to Rennes, Granada and Birmingham before making the permanent switch to Italy in 2018.

He made just one senior appearance for the London side - a 20-minute cameo against Burnley in 2017 - but he has flourished in Serie A.

"Being at Chelsea and being loaned out was definitely a bit frustrating for me, but that didn't come as a surprise either," he told BBC Sport.
