Super Eagles defender, Kenneth Omeruo, has said he would like to make a permanent move to Spanish side Leganes, when his current loan deal ends.
Omeruo, who joined the La Liga side in August for a seventh loan move away from Chelsea since he joined them in 2012, is due to return in July.
The 25-year-old has made 24 appearances since moving to the Spanish side.
“The football here suits my style and the club provides a stable platform for me.
“The opportunity to play against the best players in the world is massive for my career.
“There is an option for Leganes to sign me on a permanent basis and hopefully that will happen,” he told BBC Sport.
Omeruo, who is yet to play a competitive game for Chelsea where he has a deal until 2020, added: “The Chelsea management have never stopped me from making important career decisions and they’ve been very supportive,” he added.
“It will be a decision between both clubs, but personally I hope I’ll be a Leganes player for next season and beyond.
“I deserve stability in my career as a footballer. Leganes and Spanish football provides me with the continuity and right environment for career growth.
“After enduring instability with different loan moves, it’s time to finally settle down with my young family.
“Leganes fans and club officials have been awesome to my family which has helped me mentally and physically.
“It has also helped me with the national team and to connect with fans back home because La Liga is on television in Nigeria.
“I’d love to stay at this football club and hopefully that will happen.”
