Chelsea fullback Ola Aina: I'm learning so much with Torino

Chelsea fullback Ola Aina admits he's enjoying his football at Torino.

Aina, on a season-long loan, has quickly forced his way into Torino's first team and is becoming a regular under coach Walter Mazzarri.

He told chelseafc.com: "Everything is different but I'm adapting. So far so good.

"The football here is very tactical. You have to concentrate a lot. They spend a lot of time on set-pieces and getting the right movement. That is what I would say is really different to England.

"I think I'm learning a lot tactically. Every game and every training session I am learning something new, and I'm just trying to implement that in my game."

Aina spent last season on-loan at Hull City.

"It's definitely a higher level than the Championship. The pace of the games varies. Sometimes they are slow, sometimes you play against teams like Napoli and it's very quick. I've been enjoying every game I've been involved in."

Aina has been playing as a wing-back for Mazzarri and adds: "It's definitely a higher level than the Championship. The pace of the games varies. Sometimes they are slow, sometimes you play against teams like Napoli and it's very quick. I've been enjoying every game I've been involved in."
