Chelsea defender slams loan policy, admits ‘how frustrating it is to always go out on loan’

Chelsea defender Kenneth Omeruo has expressed his frustration with the Blues loan policy.

Omeruo joined the Premier League leaders on 2012 but has not spent a single season at Chelsea.

The Nigerian international has been sent out on loan for the past four seasons.

Omeruo is currently on loan at Turkish league minnows Alanyaspor.

“It might happen that I get to play for Chelsea but it is no longer my immediate priority,” Omeruo told BBC Sport.

“You have no idea how frustrating it is to always go out on loan,” added the Nigeria defender.” 

Chelsea have 37 players out on loan across Europe, Omeruo is the Blues sole representative in the Turkish league.

Omeruo won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations with Nigeria but has never got his shot at Chelsea.

The young defender has enjoyed temporary transfers to Middlesbrough, ADO Den Haag, Kasimpasa and Alanyaspor.

Despite never playing for Chelsea, the Premier League giants extended his contract to 2019 last summer.

Omeruo has experience playing for Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations and 2014 World Cup.
