Tottenham Hotspur’s chances of landing Jeremie Boga have surely greatly improved, with Chelsea deciding against using their buy-back clause on the winger, according to the Guardian.

Boga has impressed at Sassuolo this term, and there were suggestions that Chelsea were set to bring him back for £13 million this summer.

However, the Blues have decided to leave Boga where he is, which could improve Tottenham’s chances of landing the winger.

If Chelsea had signed Boga, Tottenham may have had to pay a premium for the 23-year-old, given the rivalry between the two sides.

But Spurs will now, instead, be negotiating with Sassuolo for the attacker, which should make their task easier.

Calcio Mercato claim that Spurs are keen on Boga, with the Express saying he is valued at £15 million.

Boga has scored eight goals and racked up four assists for Sassuolo this term, and if he was to arrive at Spurs, he could offer pace and skill to Jose Mourinho’s men.
