West Ham United are interested in signing former Chelsea winger Jeremie Boga, according to a report on HITC.
The pacey winger left the London club in the summer of 2018 to join Italian Serie A side Sassuolo after struggling to break into the first team at Stamford Bridge.
The youngster made his one and only senior Chelsea appearance in 2017, but even that was cut short as he had to be withdrawn early.
Now, the 23-year-old winger is an important figure for Sassuolo and has found the net four times in the Serie A this season, whilst also providing two assists.
According to the report, Boga is valued at £25m by the Italian club, with the Ivory Coast international also attracting interest from Everton and Napoli.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
The links to Boga are slightly surprising because the Hammers seem to be pretty well stocked for wingers at the moment.
Felipe Anderson, Robert Snodgrass, Michail Antonio, Andriy Yarmolenko and Pablo Fornals are all capable of operating on the flank, whilst Grady Diangana is scheduled to return at the end of the season from his loan with West Brom.
Boga could be offered the chance in the Premier League to show exactly what he’s capable of after failing to get his chance at Chelsea. If the Hammers do indeed make a move for him, they’ll need to battle hard to fight off the competition from Napoli and Everton.
