Super Eagles defender Kenneth Omeruo says he could be tempted to return to England and play in the Premier League sometime in the future.


Omeruo spent seven years with Chelsea but failed to make any competitive appearance for the club and spent most of his time on loan away from the club.

"I'm not ruling out playing in the Premier League, it might happen, you never can predict the future," he told Brila.net.

Omeruo added that he's delighted with his move to the Spanish La Liga, he stressed that joining Leganes gave him the opportunity to test himself against the best attackers in the world, including Lionel Messi.

"Playing against Messi is not a new thing for me, it's special experience as usual if he doesn't score."
