"For now, I’m a Chelsea player. I’ve only been out on loan.
"Now that my loan period at Alanyaspor is over, I will be returning to Chelsea for our preseason.
“No decision has been made if I’m still going out on loan or staying at Chelsea," he added. The important thing for me is that I’m still playing regularly.
“If I will have to stay at Chelsea and not be playing games, then I won’t stay, that is it for now." Omeruo stated.
