Spurs aim to land Sassuolo wing-back Boga - though Chelsea involved

Tottenham are keen to bring Sassuolo wing-back Jeremie Boga back to London this summer.

The Ivorian winger, 23, is at the heart of a transfer war between Spurs and former club Chelsea, says Calciomercato.

Boga has scored eight goals and assisted two others in Serie A this season, leading to interest from old side Chelsea.

He made just one senior appearance at Stamford Bridge before joining Sassuolo in 2018.

But it's believed there is a clause allowing Chelsea to buy Boga back for just £13million.

However, Tottenham have now emerged as major players.

Jose Mourinho wants to add more attacking quality this summer after seeing his new squad hit by injuries.

Boga is capable of playing on either wing, as well as behind the striker and as an emergency No9. Any deal for Spurs would have to involve Chelsea stepping away from negotiations.
