Chelsea have heaped praise on their player, Kenneth Omeruo, after Nigeria beat Iceland 2-0 in Group D second match on Friday.

The player recently signed a contract extension with Chelsea last summer, which keep him at the club until June 2020.
Chelsea tweeted, ”What a performance from @omeruo22! #NGAISL.”
The club has been monitoring their players at the tournament including Victor Moses and their former player John Obi Mikel.
