Kenneth Omeruo is available for loan – if not a transfer – every summer, with Chelsea tying the defender down to a long-term deal but seemingly with no intention of ever using him in their first-team squad.
After five successive loan deals, Omeruo ought to be aiming higher than Alanyaspor or Kasimpasa this summer after two encouraging showings in Russia. He was introduced to the team after Nigeria’s defeat by Croatia, and added composure and confidence to the backline.
Super Lig heavyweights Trabzonspor are understood to be eyeing the versatile defender.
Unlike the other players on this list, Ahmed Musa’s chances of securing a transfer this summer may have dimmed after his performances in Russia. After 18 unsuccessful months at Leicester City and a brighter loan spell back at CSKA Moscow, he appeared primed for an exit door from the King Power Stadium. Olympique de Marseille were just one potential destination named for the speedster, but the Foxes may now be keen to give the forward a second chance after his excellent two-goal showing against Iceland.
