Super Eagles Defender Kenneth Omeruo Completes Permanent Move To Leganes From Chelsea

Super Eagles defender, Kenneth Omeruo has completed a permanent transfer to La Liga side Leganes where he spent a successful season on loan in 2018/19, making 31 appearances.

The transfer fee is understood to be around €4.5m

The 25-year-old who signed for Chelsea in 2012 from Standard Liege couldn’t break into the first-team squad. He spent time on loans in the Netherlands, Turkey, Spain and with Championship side Middlesbrough.

Earlier this summer, Kenneth spoke of his desire to leave Chelsea to continue his development in Spain.

“I think now’s the time for me to leave, to find a place, to be my own man,” he said. “I’m married with a baby now, so I need stability.

“Chelsea have done amazingly for me, and for my family as well, but it’s time for me to reach my potential and get where I think I deserve to be.” he said
