Jérémie Boga Signs First Professional Contract with Chelsea
Highly regarded as one of the brightest prospects in French football, Jérémie Boga has taken a major step forward in his burgeoning career by signing his first professional contract with Chelsea.
The 17-year-old attacking midfielder, who has impressed throughout his development in the Blues’ academy, is now officially tied to the Premier League giants until June 2017. The deal marks a significant milestone for the French youth international, who has long expressed his ambition to break through at Stamford Bridge.
Speaking earlier in the year, Boga had spoken of his excitement and determination to secure professional terms with Chelsea. “Signing my first professional contract? I’m really looking forward to that moment. I’ve worked hard for this. I think it’s deserved now — it’s only the beginning and there’s still a long way to go,” he said in March.
Boga, a France U17 international, has been praised for his technical ability, creativity, and flair in attacking positions. Born in Marseille, he moved to London at a young age and has risen quickly through the ranks at Chelsea’s Cobham training ground. Known for his sharp dribbling and vision, he is seen as a potential future star in both club and international football.
Chelsea’s decision to offer Boga a long-term contract highlights the club’s confidence in his potential, as they continue to invest in youth development alongside their pursuit of top-level success.
With his future now secured at one of Europe’s most competitive clubs, Jérémie Boga will look to build on this achievement and make a name for himself in the first team. He will also be aiming to cement his place in France’s youth setup, where his performances have already caught the eye of scouts and coaches alike.
This contract is just the beginning for a player many believe could be a major figure in French football’s future.
