Nigeria international Kenneth Omeruo will say his final
goodbye to Premier League club Chelsea this week to
join Turkish champions Besiktas after the London club
turned down last-ditch offer from a Spanish La Liga club.
Omeruo and his representatives are expected to
jet out from London this week to finalise his
personal terms with Besiktas after both clubs
agreed the switch.
“Kenneth’s transfer to Besiktas is virtually
completed with only the Turkish club to agree
his personal terms and this will be sorted out
this week when the player is there to do his
medical,” a source informed.
“There was a late bid for him by a Spanish club,
Celta Vigo, but Chelsea didn’t consider it.”
Besiktas scouted the highly-rated Nigeria
stopper after he posted five-stars displays
against them last season while featuring for
Kasimpasa.
Kasimpasa won the first game 1-0 at home,
while the reverse fixture ended in a thrilling 3-3
draw.
Kasimpasa, who are based in Istanbul like Besiktas,
could not afford the five million Euros Chelsea demanded
to sell the Nigeria star outrightly.
Already scooped that Besiktas will make this transfer a
permanent one after the initial season-long loan.
