Chelsea loan Jeremie Boga to Granada for 2016-17 season

Granada have completed the signing of Chelsea youngster Jeremie Boga on a one-year loan deal, the Spanish club have announced.

Boga, 19, moves to Granada after spending last season in his native France on loan at Rennes, where he scored four goals in 29 appearances in all competitions, of which just eight were starts.

"I am very excited to start working with Granada and to play in the Spanish league," Boga told Granada's official website on his arrival. "I hope to help the team as much as possible and to continue growing as a player and enjoy the new project of Granada."

The Frenchman joined Chelsea's academy from ASPTT Marseille in 2008, winning the UEFA Youth League, FA Youth Cup and U21 Premier League before moving to Rennes on loan last summer, and is contracted at Stamford Bridge until June 2019.

His temporary move to Granada sees Boga follow in the footsteps of fellow Chelsea attacking midfielder Charly Musonda, who will also play in La Liga next season for Real Betis.
