Omeruo played for Sunshine Stars in Nigeria and was a trialist for Anderlecht before being signed by Standard Liege's academy.
He joined Chelsea in 2012 but was quickly loaned out to ADO Den Haag in the Netherlands for the next 18 months.
He made his debut for them in March 2012 against Heerenveen and scored his first goal for them one month later against Groningen.
While playing for ADO Den Haag, Omeruo famously became the only player in the Dutch league to score a goal, an own goal, and receive a red card in a match. It was a game against Venlo.
Chelsea loaned Omeruo out again, this time to English club Middlesbrough, where he spent the 2013-14 and 2014-15 seasons.
The Nigerian defender was sent on loan again, this time to the Turkey Super Lig's Kasimpasa.
He joined on a season-long loan with an option to buy.
Injuries marred Omeruo's stay at Kasimpasa; he missed eight games over four injury spells.
Kasimpasa did not trigger the purchase option for Omeruo, as they were unable to afford it. Omeruo returned to Chelsea and was part of their pre-season.
Omeruo signed a contract extension with Chelsea until 2019, before returning to Alanyaspor on loan.
In 2017, Omeruo signed a new three-year contract with Chelsea before returning to Kasimpasa on a season-long loan.
