Leganes Look To Complete Omeruo Deal

Leganes are reportedly looking to sign Chelsea defender Kenneth Omeruo on a permanent deal with a 4.5 million euros bid.

The 25-year-old Nigeria international, who has not made a senior appearance for the Londoners since joining in summer 2012, looks set to finally depart Stamford Bridge having previously had loan spells at ADO Den Haag, Middlesbrough, and Alanyaspor, alongside two separate stints at Kasimpasa.

Omeruo made 31 appearances in all competitions on a season-long loan last term and revealed earlier in the year that he would be happy to stay put at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque if the opportunity arose.

He said: “The football here suits my style and the club provides a stable platform for me.

“The opportunity to play against the best players in the world is massive for my career. “There is an option for Leganes to sign me on a permanent basis and hopefully that will happen.”

He added: “It will be a decision between both clubs, but personally I hope I’ll be a Leganes player for next season and beyond. “I deserve stability in my career as a footballer.

Leganes and Spanish football provides me with the continuity and right environment for career growth.”
