“I deserve stability in my career as a footballer. Leganes and Spanish football provides me with the continuity and right environment for career growth.” KennethOmeruo AFCON2019 SuperEagles Nigeria
Nigeria’s defender Kenneth Omeruo celebrates his goal during the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations football match between Nigeria and Guinea at the Alexandria Stadium on June 26 , 2019.
He is one of three survivors — alongside John Obi Mikel and Ahmed Musa — from the Super Eagles squad that won the title in 2013, when a teenaged Omeruo started five of six games including the 1-0 win over surprise finalists Burkina Faso. “We knew no matter what was going on behind, our job is to play and Nigerians are hoping that we win every game so we knew we had to forget every other thing and … be the first to qualify from our group,” Omeruo said after his header in a 1-0 victory over Guinea secured qualification for the last 16.
Omeruo’s impact is remarkable given a succession of loan spells away from Chelsea, the latest of which took him to Leganes in Spain where he was a regular under former Southampton boss Mauricio Pellegrino. “I’ve been playing away from England in Turkey for a while and every time I always craved for a visible league where people can watch me.
