Chelsea fans have taken to Twitter to discuss Jeremie Boga, after he grabbed his seventh Serie A goal of the campaign with a stoppage-time winner against SPAL 2013 on Sunday.
It's a decision that requires no thought – bringing Boga back has to be one of our summer transfer activities. He is better than all our wingers right now.

The Chelsea academy graduate left the club to join Sassuolo in 2018, where he has since netted ten goals and recorded five assists in 50 appearances for the Italian club.
Nine of those goal involvements have come this season as Boga has scored seven goals and recorded four assists, and the Serie A side’s president – Giovanni Carnevali – recently confirmed that the Blues have an option to buy the 23-year-old back in the summer if they wish to do so.
With Frank Lampard’s wing options steadily declining – Willian will be 32 in August while Pedro will be 33 in the summer – there is certainly a need to freshen up that department, something that Boga’s return would undoubtedly do given his age.
To kick off the discussion, @Dylaixz said that they would definitely bring Boga back, while adding that the Ivory Coast international is “better than Willian any day” – a bold statement.
@SprightlyCFC then said that bringing the forward back to London is “a decision that requires no thought” and that it “has to be one of our summer activities”.
