Bojang’s exceptional abilities have not gone unnoticed, as several top clubs from across Europe, including Sporting Lisbon, Inter Milan, and Red Bull Salzburg, are also vying for his signature. Bojang has been making waves on the international stage for quite a while now.

Not only did he deliver an outstanding performance in the Under 20 World Cup, but he also left a lasting impression during the AFCON Under 20 Championships earlier this year, where his talent shone brightly. His incredible skills and goal-scoring prowess have caught the attention of scouts everywhere.

The London-based club is in dire need of a talented striker, especially considering the uncertain future surrounding their current strikers, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Romelu Lukaku. And on top of that, the Blues also need a backup for Armando Broja, who is proving to be extremely injury prone.

Do Chelsea need Bojang?

With no certainty on Joao Felix’s future as well, Chelsea need to get a striker and Bojang seems to fit the bill. However, the Blues are fully aware that they face stiff competition from the likes of Sporting Lisbon, Inter Milan, and Red Bull Salzburg.

Transitioning to a new league and adapting to a higher level of competition can be a daunting task for any young player. Nevertheless, Chelsea’s interest in Bojang showcases their confidence in his ability to rise to the occasion.

The club’s track record of nurturing young talents and providing them with the platform to succeed may prove to be an enticing factor for the Gambian sensation. Chelsea’s determination to strengthen their squad and compete at the highest level could be an attractive prospect for a player like Bojang, with ambitious aspirations.

Bojang’s impressive performances in the Under 20 World Cup and AFCON Under 20 Championships have catapulted him into the spotlight, attracting attention from top clubs across Europe.
