Ola Aina on the verge of first move abroad

We reported yesterday that Ola Aina is close to joining Torino on loan, and that’s been made clear by the image you see above.

It shows Ola with senior members of the Italian club’s staff, showing him the Stadio Olimpico in Turin where he will be playing this season.

It was clear from the English window closing that Chelsea were planning to send the young defender to Europe to grow him further.

He got plenty of minutes at Hull last season, but in a very poor team. Hopefully this movve to a higher calibre squad will see Ola flourish, and hopefully he can sharpen up the tactical aspects of his game out there.

We signed Davide Zappacosta from the North Italian club, and now Ola can fill that gap as a premier option going forward. With a solid season there under his belt, perhaps he can even come back and challenge Zappacosta to be the second choice right back.
