Through a statement on their official website. 2019 Europa League winners Chelsea have confirmed that Ola Aina is set to complete a permanent transfer to Italian Serie A outfit Torino.

Before he was promoted to the first team, he won two FA Youth Cups and two UEFA Youth League titles with Chelsea U18 and U19 teams respectively.
The versatile fullback enjoyed a successful loan spell with Hull City in the 2017-2018 campaign, playing 46 games and scoring once.
