One of the questions Ola Aina was asked during his Instagram Live chat with the Super Eagles Media Team was about Chelsea fullback Reece James.
The England U21 right-back has broken into the Chelsea starting lineup under manager Frank Lampard, making 17 starts so far in the 2019-2020 season.
Aina knows all about the qualities of James as they were both members of the Chelsea Academy for several years before the Nigeria international moved to Torino in the 2018-2019 season.
"Reece James is a good player, obviously he's a bit younger than me but I have seen him in the academy, in matches and training," said Aina.
"He's coming into his form and good luck to him."
"He's coming into his form and good luck to him."
Italian football tactician Antonio Conte gave a first team debut to Aina in a League Cup clash against Bristol Rovers in August 2016, and the Super Eagles star has picked the Inter Milan gaffer as the best coach he has ever worked with.
The Torino star chose former Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho over Manchester City's Pep Guardiola and singled out Alex Iwobi as his best teammate in the national team while French midfielder Soualiho Meïté is his favourite teammate at Torino.
