# Crystal Palace show interest in Jeremie Boga

As speculation over the future of talismanic forward Wilfried Zaha continues to grow, Crystal Palace [appear to have identified an ex-Chelsea player to potentially replace him in the event that he leaves the club](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-8704235/Crystal-Palace-enquire-Fluminense-forward-Evanilson-tracking-winger-Jeremie-Boga.html).

Jeremie Boga, who is currently playing for Sassuolo in Serie A, has garnered interest from suitors across Europe after an impressive season for the *Neroverdi* saw the Ivorian score [11 goals and provide a further four assists](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11706/12064407/jeremie-boga-crystal-palace-plan-move-for-sassuolo-forward-if-wilfried-zaha-leaves). Boga was a standout contributor as Sassuolo defied expectations to achieve a commendable 8th-place finish in Serie A’s 2019/20 season.

Italian giants Napoli and French side Rennes have already submitted bids, with fellow Italian rivals Atalanta joined by Bayer Leverkusen in expressing further interest.

[According to Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11706/12064407/jeremie-boga-crystal-palace-plan-move-for-sassuolo-forward-if-wilfried-zaha-leaves), Napoli have already offered £27m for Boga, while Boga’s former club Rennes tabled a £20m offer earlier this week. However, Sassuolo are holding out as they look to command a fee in the region of £30m.

The Italian outfit signed Boga from Chelsea for less than £4m, and would be in line to make a substantial profit from the player’s sale if their valuation is met.

Crystal Palace’s star player Zaha[is reportedly ‘determined’ to leave Selhurst Park](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11706/12064407/jeremie-boga-crystal-palace-plan-move-for-sassuolo-forward-if-wilfried-zaha-leaves) during the current transfer window with Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund and Monaco having all exhibited an interest in the 27-year-old.

Consequentially, Palace would likely have to invest a significant portion of the proceeds from a sale of Zaha if they are to fend off hefty continental competition for the attacking ace.
