Official: Super Eagles Defender Aina Pens New Chelsea Deal, Joins Torino On Loan
Ola Aina has completed his loan switch to Italian Serie A club, Torino from parent club, Chelsea.

The versatile defender put pen to paper on a new contract with the Blues, keeping him on till 2021 before moving to the Maroons where he will spend the 2018/2019 season, according to a publication on Chelsea's official website.

During the course of last season, he played a key-part role for Hull City in the English Championship but has long been touted to continue his development elsewhere since the arrival of Maurizio Sarri at the club.

For his compatriots, Victor Moses remains an important player for the club while Tammy Abraham who is staying on until 2022 is targeting a huge crack this term, having been backed to remain at the club amidst a plethora of outgoing transfers during the summer window.

Aina first made his senior team bow for Chelsea in a League Cup win over Bristol Rovers in 2016, having progressed through the club's Cobham Academy.

The 21-year-old thus, becomes the 30th Chelsea player to depart the club on a short term during the transfer window.
