Super Eagles fullback Ola Aina has identified Chelsea legend Eden Hazard as the best player he has shared a dressing room with during his professional career.

Aina, a product of the Chelsea FC academy, played alongside the Belgian star during his early years at Stamford Bridge.

Both players were part of the squad that lifted the Premier League title in the 2016/2017 season.

The Nigerian international made his senior debut for Chelsea in August 2016, featuring in a 3–2 victory over Bristol Rovers in the EFL Cup. 

He went on to make three first-team appearances for the Blues, including his Premier League debut in a 3–0 win against Leicester City in October of the same year.

Speaking in a video interview shared by Hayters TV, the Nottingham Forest defender described Hazard as the standout talent he has played with so far in his career. 

Aina also revealed that despite sharing a dressing room with Hazard, he never obtained the Belgian's personal contact.

In search of regular first-team football, Aina secured a permanent move to Torino FC in 2019. 

The move allowed him to establish himself as a consistent performer before later returning to the Premier League, where he now plays a key role for Nottingham Forest.
