Is Kenneth Omeruo Chelsea's best kept secret?:
The 20-year-old defender played in and won this year's African Cup of Nations, marked the likes of Luis Suarez, Edinson Cavani and Roberto Soldado at the Confederations Cup, and is almost guaranteed to start for his country at next year's World Cup in Brazil, but at Chelsea is still waiting to make his debut — but says he's currently focused only on learning and improving

Middlesbrough confirm talks with Chelsea over January deals:
Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka has confirmed that the club are in talks with Chelsea about possible loans deals for Blues youngsters in January
http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/9099162/middlesbrough-confirm-talks-with-chelsea-over-january-deals

Chelsea are...expected to loan players to Boro with the likes of Kenneth Omeruo, Nathan Ake...and Nathaniel Chalobah, currently at Nottingham Forest, all linked in recent weeks.

"We are working on a lot of players. Just because I have a relationship with Jose, it is being said that I want 20 or more of his players. It's not true."

"We are working with Chelsea on players, but a number of other teams too, to try to improve our squad too."

[Kick]

I'd like to see Chalobah and Omeruo go there tbh. They would do well there.

[Shed]

D'aw

Happy to see him play
