Super Eagles invitee Ola Aina has paid tribute to Chelsea legend John Terry, revealing that the former England international has been his role model for the past eleven years.

Terry made his final appearance in a Chelsea shirt on the final day of the Premier League season versus Sunderland, and his last official duty was appearing at the The Blues End of Season Awards in London on Sunday, with Aina also in attendance.

Reviewing his performance in the 2016-2017 campaign, the Nigerian defender was happy to play his part as Chelsea won their fifth Premier League title, and also acknowledged there were lowlights.

''This season was filled with trials and accomplishments. Being part of a champion winning team I've always supported has been my highlight 💙💪🏾! '' Aina posted on Instagram.

''Also MAN LIKE @johnterry.26 - It has been a pleasure looking up to you since I was 9.

''You are a legend , true gentleman and a top guy. Being able to play with you was an honour. Good luck in the future, God will go with you. Bless up my G !!

''UP THE CHELS !!💙🔵''

Aina won two FA Youth Cups, two UEFA Youth Leagues and the Under-21 Premier League before he was fully promoted to Chelsea's senior team at the start of the 2016-2017 season.
