Chidozie Awaziem’s loan move to Leganes may have seen him depart Portuguese giants FC Porto for a lesser side in Spain, but it should be for the best as he probably wasn’t going to get the necessary game time for Sergio Conceicao’s side had he remained with the Dragons.
Be that as it may, a place in Mauricio Pellegrino’s team isn’t guaranteed, given the level of competition he has to face at the Cucumber Growers. The former Nantes defender is one of the six central defenders available to Pellegrino, and he’ll have to battle for his place in the side.
The same probably goes for Kenneth Omeruo, who was one of the top performers for the club last term. If gameweek one’s 1-0 defeat by Osasuna is anything to go by, the former Chelsea man isn’t going to have it all his way the second time around at the club, and must not also assume that his starting berth is set in stone.
