Chelsea youngster Ola Aina signed a new contract with the club before sealing a season-long loan to Torino.
The 21-year-old Nigeria full-back extended his Chelsea contract to 2021 before joining the Serie A side for the 2018-19 season. Aina, who spent last season on loan at Hull in the Championship, was also a loan target for PSV Eindhoven in the Dutch Eredivisie. "Torino have been following me for some time," Aina told Torino's website on Tuesday.
"I hope to do well. I know this is a club that believes in young players and that is very important. "I know I can learn a lot in Italy, above all in terms of positioning and organisation, which are fundamental here. Aina, who represented England at youth level, has made just six first-team appearances for Chelsea. He made 46 appearances while on loan at Hull in the Championship last term and played for Chelsea in pre-season.
