Chelsea are reportedly close to agreeing on a deal with Leganes over a permanent deal for current loanee Kenneth Omeruo, according to Brila.net.
The Blues and the Spanish side both want the deal to happen, and an agreement should happen before the end of the season which will see the defender make the move to La Liga.
Omeruo has yet to make an appearance for the Blues since joining in 2012, with the defender being sent out on multiple loan spells.
ADO Den Haag, Middlesbrough, Alanyaspor and Kasimpasa have been the player’s previous destinations, before making the loan move to Leganes this season.
However, the defender is likely to remain in Spain next season, with the player revealing that he wants a permanent stay in La Liga.
I want to stay in Spain but right now the club needs to pay or reach an agreement with Chelsea
I know they are working towards it and will reach a decision soon. I just want to keep playing wellI’ve seen the importance of playing where Nigerians can watch they can see me every week and know how improved my game has been.
I want to stay in Spain, maybe a bigger club. If not, then Leganes. I think this year is the year where I stay as I need a home.
Omeruo is just one of a number of Chelsea players out on loan deals at the minute, but he could end his spell at the Blues next season.
