Omeruo joins Turkish club Kasimpasa on loan from Chelsea
Super Eagles defender, Kenneth Omeruo, has joined Turkish Super Lig side Kasimpasa on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea.
The 21-year-old, who joined Chelsea in January 2012, spent last season on loan at English Championship side Middlesbrough, making 22 appearances.
Kasimpasa finished 13th in the Turkish Super Lig last season and Omeruo says he wants to help them do better this term.
“The target is to get a lot of playing time and help Kasimpasa achieve their objectives,” he told BBC Sport.
“I’ve come to Turkey to reciprocate the club’s determination to bring me here. I want to show the manager and the fans that they have made a good choice and I am completely focused on breaking into the squad and prove myself here.
“They have strong faith in my ability and I need to prove it. Last season was difficult because of injuries which affected me both at club and international level but I have put all that behind me.
“Kasimpasa approached Chelsea in a professional manner and the chance to test myself in a top league is very challenging.”
Omeruo underwent his medical on Tuesday before signing a deal, which includes an option for the Turkish club to buy him at the end of the loan.
