Representatives of Kenneth Omeruo have told MTNFootball.com that the Nigeria defender is “95% close to joining up with Chelsea”.

Omeruo has made the final 23-man Nigeria squad for this month’s Africa Cup of Nations after he only made his full international debut against Catalonia this month.

“Chelsea want the player to end his loan spell at ADO Den Haag and we are going to have several meetings in this respect,” one of the representatives of the defender informed.

“Right now there are discussions to have a meeting in South Africa during the Nations Cup.”

One of the issues that need to be ironed out is whether he should move to Stamford Bridge immediately during this winter transfer or wait till the closed season in the summer.

He has signed an initial 18-month loan deal at Den Haag, which will be up at the end of this season.

MTNFootball.com has specially gathered that top officials of Chelsea have already booked into the Nelspruit base of the Eagles.

Mikel Obi and Victor Moses are the other Chelsea players on the Eagles squad to the Nations Cup.

Nineteen-year-old Omeruo, who has been capped by Nigeria at U17 and U20 levels, is in his second season on loan with Den Haag from Chelsea.

A central defender, he has established himself at right back at Den Haag.

In the summer, he missed out on going on pre-season training tour of the United States of America because he could not process his entry visas in time.

This month, he made two assured appearances for the Eagles both as a substitute against Catalonia and Cape Verde. He would now have pushed for a first-team place ahead of Celtic ace Efe Ambrose.

He is not ready for chelsea because there is no player he can displace for now, not even to sit on the bench for now, let him concentrate on playing in holland fr now and hope for better move or have you forgotten terry, ivanovic, luiz, cahill all play that position
