Chelsea defender Kenneth Omeruo has signed a new two-year deal that keeps him at the club until 2018. The 20-year-old Nigeria international has largely been loaned out by the Blues since he joined in January 2012.
Omeruo, who is part of the Super Eagles World Cup squad, told BBC Sport: "I've been working towards a new contract and I am really happy it is done.
"I'm very confident and I know I have to prove myself more to get a chance."
He is yet to make his Chelsea debut but remains positive about his chances at the London club and is aware of what he needs to do to convince manager Jose Mourinho to play him.
"Going to the World Cup is an opportunity to show myself and prove that I am ready to play in the first-team," Omeruo said.
"I'm enjoying myself here in England and settling down to the football.
"I just need to take the opportunities when presented to me, stay focused, do my best and show the manager what I'm capable of doing."
