In spite of strictures in the transfer market necessitating a focus on youth, there is no room for the Nigeria international at Stamford Bridge.
There is something cruel about the fact that, for two of London’s biggest clubs, their longest-serving players are considered surplus to requirements.
Carl Jenkinson, a boyhood Arsenal fan, at one time looked like the future of the club at right-back, and was even capped by England, but now has a long-term contract, which runs out next year, to thank for his longevity in North London.
For Kenneth Omeruo, however, there have never been any pretensions about his influence, or lack thereof, at Chelsea.
