Ola Aina is one of Chelsea’s most notable loanees in Europe this season, playing at Turin where he’s really starting to impress.
His latest showing saw him play a crucial role in the Italian side’s 1-1 draw this weekend. It was his shot, deflected off a hapless defender, that equalised the game.
Quotes of his featured on Forza Italian football show how he feels about life in Italy and his increasing role in the team:
“I’m very happy about my performance, the team performance,” Aina told reporters. “It was just unfortunate that we were unable to come away with a win.
We love having Chelsea youth players playing for good European sides with some history. It makes tuning in to some casual Serie A all the more interesting. The Granata are a team with great potential under Walter Mazzarri, and Ola can be a big part of their success this season.
We hope to see more and more of him on the pitch, and we hope that Maurizio Sarri is keeping a close eye on his prospect playing in his native country.
