Chelsea fullback Ola Aina: Torino suits me; Beckham my hero

Chelsea fullback Ola Aina says he's enjoying his loan at Torino.

Aina is expected to start for this weekend's clash with Napoli.

He said, "The city of Turin? I like it. It is smaller than London and quieter.

"It suits me. The player I'm inspired by? Marcelo of Real Madrid. But when I was little, I really liked David Beckham.

"My role? I started playing as a winger, then over the years I have stepped back. This position allows me to attack, but also to defend: I always try to do what the coach asks me.

"Next match? Sunday we face Napoli and it will be a very difficult game."
