Kenneth Omeruo: Chelsea defender moves to La Liga

Leganes and Chelsea has confirmed the season long loan for the Nigeria defender Kenneth Omeruo.
This news is coming in after Chelsea also confirmed the loan departures of midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko and defender Ola Aina to AC Milan and Torino respectively.

Omeruo takes Chelsea's tally of players currently out on loan to 32 and has never made a competitive appearance for the Blues since joining from Standard Liege in 2012.

The 24-year-old centre-back spent last season on loan in Turkey at Kasimpasa, before being selected for Nigeria's World Cup squad.
He started two matches in Russia, helping his country to a clean sheet in a 2-0 victory over Iceland, before a late goal in a 2-1 defeat to Argentina which knocked Nigeria out.

Leganes, who are coached by former Southampton boss Mauricio Pellegrino, finished 17th in La Liga last season.

In a post via twitter the club wrote:

"CD Leganés and @ChelseaFC reach an agreement for the loan of @omeruo22.
His presentarion will be at ID Butarque next Friday (11:30 h. CEST)"

We wish Omeruo goodluck at his new club.
