Super Eagles defender Kenneth Omeruo is generating interest from clubs in Spain and Germany after impressing with Leganes this season, reports Promptnewsonline.com.
Omeruo, 25, is on loan at Spanish outfit Leganes from English Premier League club Chelsea.
He struggled to secure a starting shirt in the opening weeks of the campaign but is now a regular member of Manuel Pellegrino’s side following a run of impressive performance for the club.
The former Nigeria junior international helped Leganes kept a clean sheet in a win against Real Madrid and also impressed against Barcelona.
Leganés have an option to buy the Nigeria international at the end of the season – but rivals and clubs in Bundesliga have also now shown interest according to a report in thesun. co.uk.
Omeruo has never played for Chelsea but has been loaned out to the Championship, Holland and Turkey before heading to Spain this season.
Like ex-Chelsea stars Mo Salah and Kevin De Bruyne, he is likely to move away from Stamford Bridge.
He has played against Lionel Messi at the last two World Cups but has only played in the Championship in England during his loan spells with Middlesbrough.
Omeruo has made 16 league appearances for Leganes this season but his yet to register a goal.
He is expected to be in action when Leganes face Real Sociedad in a LaLiga clash on Saturday.
