Kanu added that “The club told me that he is cool headed, a professional and very hard working.
“He’s growing and I see him going on to be a very great defender in the world. We will continue to support and push him to do even more.”
Omeruo, obviously delighted by the visit said: “It’s a great honour to have an all-time great like Kanu at my club. It’s a great encouragement for a young player like me, it will lift me.”
