Chelsea have all kinds of loan players all over Europe this season, but few of them are going as well as Ola Aina’s move to Torino.
The Nigeria international’s progress in Serie A is perfectly summed up by these two clips of him taking on Napoli at the weekend.
The first one sees the full back showing off his superb one on one defensive skills, as he totally shuts down his opposition number with great body positioning and a burst of speed. You’ll have to do better than that Lorenzo.
The second one shows that he’s more than just a speed merchant – he reads the cross perfectly and drifts in behind his centre backs to cut out a dangerous cross.
Keep it up, Ola.

Ola Aina at Torino is a proper fruitful loan. He plays every week against top level opponents in a very tactical league. And he has improved massively for it.
