Ola Aina praises Fulham manager Scott Parker for 'always telling us that he believes in each and every one of us' after former Chelsea kid finally gave Premier League strugglers lift-off

Ola Aina has praised Fulham manager Scott Parker for his impact on the Premier League strugglers.

It was Aina, a former Chelsea academy graduate, who finally gave Fulham lift-off when he scored a screamer against West Brom to seal his side's first Premier League win of the season, and he credits Parker with kick-starting the turnaround.

'He has been great, keeping the belief within the camp and he always tells us that he believes in each and every one of us, believes in our ability and what we can achieve,' he told the Evening Standard.
