Ola Aina: Chelsea urged me to take Torino option

Chelsea fullback Ola Aina is delighted with the way he's kicked off his loan with Torino.

The defender says Chelsea were happy to send him to Toro this season.

Aina said, "I only arrived in August, but I immediately got along well with my new teammates, I tied up with Meite, Ferigra, Edera, but also with many others.

"I feel at home and for this I thank them. I started this season very well thanks to my teammates and to the coach.

"When there are challenges I always face them openly because I believe a lot in my potential.

"Chelsea allowed me to be here because they know that this is an excellent championship and an opportunity to improve even tactically, I chose Torino because I talked to the coach and he immediately made me feel important for this team, and then because this club has an important history."
