Omeruo begs to play for Chelsea before contract expires

Nigeria defender Kenneth Omeruo is still looking forward to a competitive game for Chelsea which he hopes would become a reality before his contract expires.

Omeruo joined the Stamford Bridge side seven years ago but has continued to be shipped out on loan by the former league champions to several clubs in Turkey, Holland and lately Spanish La Liga side Legannes.

“I’ve been playing away from England in Turkey for a while and every time I always craved for a visible league where people can watch me,” Omeruo told the BBC.

“Luckily, after the World Cup where I had two good games, I got more options and I chose La Liga where everyone can watch me, and so far it’s been a perfect decision for me.”

“If I end up playing for Chelsea someday fine, because it is one of the biggest teams in the world and they have the highest fan base in Nigeria.” “I’ve played in the English championship, I’ve gotten a feel of that but La Liga is very good.”

“I would love to play for them, even if it’s just a game, but right now I am very happy with my life here in Spain.”

“Right now I’m fulfilling my dream of playing in La Liga, it’s amazing and different.”

“Leganes have an option to sign me permanently and I would like to give everything to stay in the league.”
