Omeruo joins Chelsea for pre-season

Super Eagles defender, Kenneth Omeruo, will join up with English Premier League side Chelsea for pre-season training ahead of next season.

Omeruo has been on loan at Dutch club ADO Den Haag from Chelsea for the past one and half seasons.

Top representatives of the central defender informed MTNFootball.com that the 19-year-old defender has begun processing his travel papers to train with Chelsea ahead of the new season.

“Kenneth has begun processing his papers to allow him join Chelsea for pre-season in the summer,” one of the player’s handlers disclosed.

“There will most likely be some changes at Chelsea and it would be after those changes that one would really know whether he will now stay at Chelsea or be loaned out again.”

Last year, Omeruo failed to join up with ‘The Blues’ for pre-season training in the United States of America because he could not get an entry visa to the country in good time.

Omeruo, who has made 26 appearances and scored two goals since his arrival in January 2012, featured for ADO Den Haag in central defence in Sunday’s 2-0 defeat of Feyenoord.

“He was very excited with his performance as a central defender. This was most probably his last home match for ADO,” said the player’s representative.
