Ola Aina’s decision to swap the hustle and bustle of London for Turin in the summer signified his ambition and desire to take his game to another level.
Having impressed on his loan spell in Yorkshire with Hull City, the natural step was either to fight for his place in the Chelsea squad under Maurizio Sarri or seek another temporary spell on the road, and away from his parent club.
Following a frustrating summer that saw him get only 17 minutes of game time in pre-season – in the Blues’ 1-0 victory over Perth Glory – under Sarri, the youngster probably took the best step, electing to further his development under Walter Mazzarri at Torino.
