As part of his giving back to the Society Initiative, Super Eagles and former Chelsea Fc defender, Kenneth Omeruo has facilitated the movement of two young Nigerian players, Obi Martins and Samuel Obaleh through his Kenneth Omeruo Academy to Leganes FC of Spain.
Speaking at the ongoing screening programme for his academy, Omeruo Football Academy in Gwarinpa Abuja on Thursday, the former Chelsea player said his priority now is to put smile on the faces of talented Nigerian footballers in the best way possible.
He particularly expressed deep joy in seeing talented young Nigeria players fulfil their dreams of playing in Europe.
Omeruo stated that giving young boys the platform to realise their dream of playing professional football gladdened his heart and promises to use his academy to help discover talents for Nigeria.
In his words: “It is a thing of joy seeing my dream coming to reality. I am more happy when my academy facilitated signing of two players ( Obi Martins and Samuel Obaleh) to my club, Leganes.
“I will like to add that seeing players from my academy playing for the national team will make me a fulfilled man after my retirement from football. Giving young talented players such platform will help reduce crimes rate, help players take good care of their family and more importantly, takes boys off the streets and give them hope.
Speaking particularly about the current state of his club who are plying their in the second division, Kenneth Omeruo expressed optimism that Leganes will surely return to the Spanish La Liga next season.
“If you’ve been following our matches, you will discover that we are playing towards getting to the LaLiga, the club is doing everything to make sure that they return back to where they belong. But in football, until the end of the season, we wait to see what happen,” He said.
