“Aside from that, I have no regrets. Each thing comes into its own time. It was certainly not the time for me to play for Chelsea.
“I always keep that in the corner of my head. If I continue to do what I am doing, work hard, maybe I will be back one day.”
Despite the interest Boga, Chelsea completed the £37m signing of Hakim Ziyech, who will arrive from Ajax in the summer.
