After failing to make the much anticipated debut for his new club Middlesbrough on Saturday in their away tie against Blackpool, on-loan Chelsea starlet Kenneth Omeruo is now tipped to make his debut for Boro next Saturday.
The new debut date will be during Boro’s home league tie against Charlton Athletic and having secured and away win in their last tie, fans will be expecting a lot from their Nigerian import on his debut appearance.
Already, Boro Coach Ator Karanka has extolled the qualities of Omeruo adding that the 20-year-old Nigerian will be a worthy addition to his line up
Karanka said: “Jose recommended him because he knows what I need and he told me Kenneth would be an interesting player for me because he’s young and strong and I like strong central defenders in this league.
“He’s a player who has a very good future and I think he can improve here. The important thing is he’s hungry and has come here to improve. I can see every day on the training ground that he is the player I was waiting for.
“He’s here because for him it’s important to improve and play in England, in the same country as Chelsea.
“We will work with the same methodology and philosophy as he has in Chelsea. Our philosophy is the same as Jose and his staff’s and that’s important for him.
