Super Eagles Defender Kenneth Omeruo, has completed a loan move from Chelsea to Championship side, Middlesbrough until the end of May.

The 20-year-old, who was an integral member of the Super Eagles that won the 2013 African Nations Cup, expressed his happiness about his latest move.

“Joining Middlesbrough provides me with an opportunity to be sharp for the World Cup.

"With the World Cup in June, it is important to have the chance of playing regularly.

"Hopefully I can help Middlesbrough fight for promotion - nothing is impossible in football," Kenneth Omeruo added.

Last season, he played 36 games on loan at Dutch top-flight side ADO Den Haag.

After signing for the Blues from Standard Liege in January 2012, Omeruo was immediately sent on loan to Den Haag.

He is yet to make his Chelsea debut, and with his sights firmly set on the World Cup in Brazil, Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho has allowed him to move to the Riverside.

Omeruo will be working under former Mourinho’s assistant, Aitor Karanka.

Speaking further, Omeruo said: "Training with the first-team at Chelsea is just not good enough for my progress and development.

"More significantly, I was highly recommended [to Karanka] by Jose Mourinho and that feels good.

"They [Karanka and Mourinho] speak to each other on a daily basis so I believe I'll be in good hands.

"Apart from playing regularly and helping the team, this provides me with an opportunity to be sharp for the World Cup."
