Ola Aina enjoying time at Torino
Chelsea youngster Ola Aina has revealed why he chose to move to Serie A outfit Torino and says he is enjoying his football.
In a report by Calciomercato, the right-back claims Torino head coach, and former Watford boss, Walter Mazzari made him feel like an important part of the team from the start, which has helped him settle in Italy.
Aina, who enjoyed a loan spell at Championship side Hull City last season, has made four appearances so far this campaign, as Torino sit 10th, with a win, two draws and a loss from their opening fixtures.
The 21-year-old believes he has started brightly this season, and looks to continue to make a good impression on the first team. He said:
I have started very well this season, thanks also to my team mates and to the coach, when there are challenges I always face them openly because I believe in my potential.
He went on to praise Mazzari’s tactics and team set up, emphasising how he likes to be given the freedom to attack as well as defend.
