While Kenneth Omeruo's loan deal was officially confirmed today by Chelsea and Spanish La Liga Leganes.

This is a better move for both players as Omeruo spent the last three season on loan in the Turkish League with Kisimpasa  (2015-2016, 2017-2018) and Alanyaspor (2016-2017).

The Turkish League is not as competitive as La Liga, the Super Eagles World cup defender will have a lot to learn in Spain as he will be facing Lionel Messi, Gareth Bale, Diego Costa, World Cup winner Greizmann, Luis Suarez and the likes on a weekly basis.

While Ola Aina will learn a lot at Serie A side, Torino, Italian Serie A is well known for producing great fullbacks and defenders.
