Career | |
Having departed for England aged 11, Jérémie Boga arrived at Stade Rennais on loan with a buyout clause of 40 Million Euros on 31st August 2015. This technically-gifted and powerful attacking player was one of the brightest prospects in French football, and in Chelsea’s youth teams. Boga made 31 appearances, of which only 8 came as part of the starting line-up. He shone individually, at times, but had trouble settling into a squad which wasn’t particularly well-oiled. He scored three goals during his spell in Rennes, the best worked of which came at Reims in the 2015/2016 season. He returned to Chelsea in June 2016.
