“I played just 18 minutes for Chelsea” “A return is possible” – 27-year-old man hints on Stamford Bridge return
A former Chelsea player has now made a suggestion that he would be eager to play for the Blues again in the future.
Even though he joined his current team very recently, he insisted in a TNT Sports interview that he hasn’t given up on making a return to Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea has experienced a significant player turnover among those who went via the Cobham academy system.
Many of these players were never even given the opportunity to play for the Blues; of those who were, Jeremie Boga may have played more minutes than any of them.
Jeremie Boga played just 18 minutes for Chelsea
The winger featured for just 18 minutes on the opening day of the season back in 2017, with a red card for Gary Cahill seeing him forced to be subbed off early in the game.
A plethora of loan spells followed for him, with him eventually moving on permanently to Italy.
The 27-year-old has begun to find his feet as a regular starter though, currently featuring for Nice where he has four goals and four assists this season.
Boga refuses to rule out Chelsea return
While there have been no reports of a potential reunion in the future, Boga himself has now claimed that he would refuse to rule out moving back there.
He said: “You never close the door, but I’ve just arrived at Nice, I’ve signed a long contract and I’m focused on Nice. But you never know what might happen in the future.”
Chelsea are currently investing a lot of stock in their current young wingers, with both Noni Madueke and Mykhailo Mudryk being brought in for big money.
The former enjoyed a strong showing at the weekend against Aston Villa, and has arguably taken bigger steps to becoming a key player in the future for the Blues.
He will almost certainly be handed the chance to start on Thursday against Tottenham, with victory crucial in their attempts to secure European football for next season.
