Latest On Kenneth Omeruo: Chelsea Defender Lands In Turkey For Transfer Talks

Published: July 31, 2018

Kenneth Omeruo is poised to spend his sixth successive season away from Stamford Bridge and his latest move could be confirmed before the end of this week.

Carefree Youth says the Nigeria international is presently in Turkey; the defender landed in Ataturk airport, Istanbul on Tuesday for transfer talks with one of his suitors.

Göztepe S.K, who have been on Omeruo's case for the past one year, are presumably the frontrunners to sign him on a season-long loan.

The center back's future at the Blues has been a point of discussion as he has yet to make his competitive debut for the Premier League side since joining them in January 2012 from Sunshine Stars.

Although he made the headlines for his impressive display against Iceland at the 2018 World Cup, new Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri has declared him surplus to requirements.

Omeruo was immediately loaned out to ADO Den Haag after he joined Chelsea, then had loans with Middlesbrough, Kasımpaşa and Alanyaspor in subsequent seasons.
