Chelsea gaffer, Jose Mourinho has ordered Super Eagles star Kenneth Omeruo to return to championship side Middlesbrough on loan for another season.

Omeruo made 14 appearances for the Championship side after joining on loan for the second half of last season.

Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka – formerly Jose Mourinho’s assistant at Real Madrid , had earlier confirmed that he expected Omeruo to return to the Riverside Stadium for the coming campaign, not minding his outstanding performance at Brazil 2014 World Cup, where he played all four of Nigeria’s matches.

The 20-year-old – who can play as a centre-back or right-back – took to instagram to reveal his excitement at returning to the North East to work with Karanka once more.

He wrote, “Holiday is finished. . Almost time for work again.. happy to be re joining boro for a new season. . “.

Boro fans praised his decision.
