Kenneth Omeruo is reportedly closing in on a loan move to La Liga, with Leganes leading the race to sign him.
According to AS, several clubs in Spain and around Europe have expressed an interest in the Nigerian international, who is once again set to leave Chelsea on loan.
Leganes and Real Valladolid had been in the running to sign the player after holding talks with Chelsea.
Omeruo will be keen to get a deal over the line as quickly as possible, with the new La Liga season poised to start this week.
The Nigerian defender has become something of a peripheral figure at Chelsea, having never managed to feature for the club’s first-team squad.
After joining back in 2012, he has since endured loan spells in Holland, Turkey and England, but now looks destined for Spain.
At the age of 24, it could be his final loan move before securing a permanent move away from the club.
