Kenneth Omeruo has caught the eye of manager Jose Mourinho during Chelsea training, MTNFootball.com has specially learnt.

“Kenneth has impressed Mourinho at training with Chelsea and it is looking very good for him now since his surgery for a shoulder problem,” the player’s adviser Chika Akujobi informed MTNFootball.com

“The Special One has taken special interest in the player.

 He wants to give him a chance but first Kenneth must regain full match fitness.”

Mourinho is expected to soon take a decision on the immediate future of the 20-year-old defender, whether he stays put at Chelsea or goes on a short-term loan.

Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi has already said he hopes to call up Omeruo for next month’s World Cup final playoff against Ethiopia in Calabar.

Meanwhile, Omeruo has expressed satisfaction over the recent screening by his academy in Abuja.

The screening exercise was rounded up on Friday with the Jobisports Academy winning a test game 4-0 against DEK Queen FC of Abuja.
