Chelsea Loanee Aina Names One Defender Who Helped Him Improve

Chelsea loanee Ola Aina is very confident his Hull City side would escape dropping from the Championship following a commendable display in a goalless draw with Aston Villa at the KC last weekend.

The Super Eagles fullback and his team put in a defensive masterclass to deny their promotion-chasing visitors who sit fourth in the Championship a victory and the result ensured they kept their six-point lead away from the relegation zone intact.

Following their latest result, Aina and his defensive band of Michael Hector, Max Clark and Michael Dawson have now restricted their opponents to just five goals from open play in their last nine games in the league and the 21-year old was particularly effusive in his praise for the latter.

''It’s been good with Daws. He’s a leader on the pitch and off it, he’s our captain and it’s all right. I’ve enjoyed it vastly,'' Aina said to Hull Daily Mail.

''He’s helped me a lot. He’s a good pro and you can see that in everything he does
.
''If you’re not up to standards, he’ll tell you. He doesn’t moan but he tells you. He keeps me on my toes throughout the game and that helps for a young lad like me.''

Ola Aina is contracted to Chelsea until the end of the 2019-2020 season.
