Besiktas President visits Chelsea for Omeruo
Besiktas President Fikret Orman is set to hold talks with Chelsea over the loan transfer of Kenneth Omeruo.
A source close to the club revealed that the Besiktas President has arrived in London and will hold talks with the Blues this week.
Orman wants to negotiate a €700,000 loan fee with a €4 million release clause option included in the deal.
Besiktas have been in talks with Chelsea for over a month over the transfer but nothing has been agreed with the player.
Omeruo joined Chelsea as a youngster in 2011 but was unable to play for the Blues due to not having a work permit. The young defender has enjoyed loan spells in Holland and most recently Turkey where he excelled at Kasimpasa.
