Chelsea loanee Kenneth Omeruo impressed in CD Leganes' goalless draw against Celta de Vigo on Saturday, April 27, and Whoscored.com took notice of his performance by including the central defender in the La Liga Team of the Week.
In a 4-4-2 formation, the Nigeria international partnered former Arsenal star Gabriel Paulista in central defense.
Omeruo was awarded a whoscored.com rating of 8.0 for his efforts against Celta de Vigo, just 0.1 less than Gabriel.

He has played 25 games in La Liga this season, logging 2,201 minutes.
