Transfer: Super Eagles star becomes longest-serving player at Chelsea

Nigeria international, Kenneth Omeruo, has become the longest-serving player at Chelsea, following the departure of Tomas Kalas to Bristol City on Monday.

Kalas arrived at Stamford Bridge from Sigma Olomouc in July 2010 and leaves after only four first-team appearances in nine years.

Omeruo joined the Blues from Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) side, Sunshine Stars, in January 2012.

He has remained loyal to Chelsea, despite failing to make his official debut after seven years and six months.

Omeruo has been sent out on loan to five different clubs: ADO Den Haag, Middlesbrough, Kasimpasa, Alanyaspor and Leganes

The 25-year-old, who is contracted to Chelsea for another one and a half years, has been linked with a permanent departure from the club this summer.
