Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are ready to go head-to-head this summer, in a transfer battle over Sassuolo winger Jeremie Boga. Ivory Coast international has been in fantastic form for the Italian club so far this campaign, scoring eight league goals and picking up two assists.
Blues supporters will no doubt recognise his name, as Jeremie started his career with Chelsea back in 2015. Boga made one senior appearance for London club during his six-year tenure with the Blues, before joining Sassuolo permanently following multiple loan moves.
The 23-year-old forward has settled well in Italy, establishing himself as a crucial part of Roberto De Zerbi’s setup. Blues are set to exercise their buy-back option of nearly £13m for their former attacker.
This possible deal would see Sassuolo still earn a profit from the transfer, but Chelsea appear to have a contest. The Spurs as being interested in the Ivorian forward, with the Portuguese manager’s squad needing some new options in the front-line.
Borussia Dortmund and Valencia are also reportedly keen, with interest looking high in this tricky forward. His name could be one to watch this summer, as he would surely be eager to make a step-up at this point of his career.
Tottenham have terrible consequences in the Premier League this campaign as they are in an 8th place in the table.
Spurs signed several footballers during the summer transfer window like Tanguy Ndombele from Lyon, Jack Clarke from Leeds United and Ryan Sessegnon from Fulham. London club also added Steven Bergwijn from PSV, Giovani Lo Celso from Real Betis and Gedson Fernandes from Benfica in January.
