Nigerian Teen Star Ola Aina Training With Chelsea First Team

The young Nigerian defender Ola Aina is training with the first team of Chelsea ahead of the new season.

The England youth international, 19, remains eligible to play for the U21 team of the Blues in the forthcoming season, but could be promoted to the first team should he impress during pre-season.

Last term, Aina made Chelsea`s 18-man squad for the League Cup tie against Walsall on September 23 and was also an unused substitute seven months later in the Premier League against Swansea City.

The Londoner recently ended speculation about his future by penning a fresh four-year deal that will keep him at Stamford Bridge until June 30, 2020.

Nigeria internationals John Obi Mikel and Victor Moses were both involved in Tuesday`s workout at Cobham.
