FORMER Chelsea winger Jeremie Boga is now inspiring his team to a Ligue 1 title push.<\/p>\n
Boga, 26, joined Chelsea's academy at the age of 11 in 2008 and climbed the ranks before signing his first professional contract seven years later.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
He was part of a 'golden generation' of young talents at Stamford Bridge with the likes of Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Fikayo Tomori and Tammy Abraham.<\/p>\n
But while his team-mates broke into the senior team, Boga struggled for game time.<\/p>\n
The winger was loaned to Stade Rennais in 2015 to gain first team experience and went on to make 31 appearances.<\/p>\n
However, upon his return to West London he struggled to break into the first team again and was subsequently sent on another season-long loan, this time to Granada.<\/p>\n
Following the conclusion of his second loan spell, Boga was handed his first team and Premier League debut for Chelsea.<\/p>\n He started the opening game of the 2017-18 season against Burnley, but his debut was cut short when he was substituted in the 18th minute after Gary Cahill's early red card.<\/p>\n And just a few weeks later, the winger was loaned out once again to Birmingham.<\/p>\n Boga eventually joined Sassuolo in a \u00a33.5million transfer and spent four years at the Mapei Stadium before joining Atalanta.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n FREE BETS – BEST BETTING OFFERS AND BONUSES NEW CUSTOMERS<\/strong><\/p>\n And this summer he completed a \u00a315.6m transfer to Ligue 1 side OGC Nice.<\/p>\n The Eaglets have been the unlikely team of the season so far.<\/p>\n They currently LEAD the Ligue 1 table ahead of Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco.<\/p>\n And they are yet to lose a match this season.<\/p>\n Boga has been involved in three of his team's last five goals.<\/p>\n He scored the opening goal on Sunday as Nice continued their unbeaten run with a 2-0 win over Rennes.<\/p>\n They are now set to face 13th-placed Montpellier on Friday.<\/p>\n<\/picture>WILL I NEVER <\/span><\/p>\n
