The contract of the 20-year-old Omeruo at Stamford Bridge will be up in June 2015 and Akujobi has specially revealed that talks are on-going for a new deal for the highly promising defender.
“Chelsea are happy with Kenneth and they will extend his contract as a result,” he said.
Akujobi will join Omeruo from his Dutch base of Rotterdam on Monday for the trip to English Championship side Middlesbrough, where the player has agreed a five-month loan deal.
