Super Eagles defender, Kenneth Omeruo has been appointed as the first choice captain of the Spanish club side.;
Omeruo will be assisted by four players: Juan Muñoz Muñoz, Jose Manuel Arnaiz, Sergio González, and Asier Riesgo.
The 28-year-old is one of the oldest key members of the Leganes squad.
As with almost all Spanish clubs, it is Leganes tradition to name the longest-serving player in the squad as captain. And with Omeruo being the longest-serving player in the squad, he was selected as the club’s new leader.
Leganes were relegated to the Spanish second tier in the 2019/20 season after finishing in 18th position on the table.
The central defender has rejected offers from other club sides in Europe and Asia to remain at the club.
Kenneth Josiah Omeruo is a Nigerian professional footballer who plays as a defender for Leganés in the Segunda División and the Nigeria national team.
Omeruo signed for Chelsea from Standard Liège in January 2012 and upon signing went on loan to Dutch top-flight side ADO Den Haag.
