Chelsea have so far been pleased with the performance of Nigeria defender Kenneth Omeruo at the World Cup in Brazil, his adviser has told AfricanFootball.com
Omeruo, a full international only last year, has been one of the ever-presents as Nigeria made it past the first round of the World Cup for only the third time in their history.
And the player’s adviser, Chika Akujobi has told AfricanFootball.com that the central defender’s stocks have appreciated with his London club, who only recently gave him a new, three-year contract.
“So far Chelsea officials are very positive and happy with Kenneth’s development,” Akujobi told AfricanFootball.com
“They've not come to a conclusion as the World Cup is still going on in Brazil, but he's going with them on pre-season training, which has been scheduled for Papendal training complex in Holland. There they will play a few friendly matches against teams like Vitesse Arnhem.
“But the way things are going, he will be in (Jose) Mourinho’s plans for the new season with a loan option to any of the premier league clubs in England. Let's wait and see.”
He held his own against Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko, when Nigeria pipped Bosnia-Herzegovina and he also posted a decent shift when he came face-to-face with an Argentina strike force that included Lionel Messi, Gonzalo Higuain, Angel di Maria and Sergio Aguero on Wednesday.
Omeruo was on loan at English Championship side Middlesbrough last season, while he also played on loan for Dutch club ADO Den Haag the previous season.
