Chelsea have confirmed that they have allowed Ola Aina to spend the upcoming campaign on loan at Torino.

Aina has spent the summer back at Chelsea having made 44 Championship appearances for Hull City last season, and it had been expected that the full-back would link up with another EFL club.

However, reports recently emerged regarding a temporary switch to Torino, and the Blues have now officially revealed that the 21-year-old will spend time playing in Serie A.

Chelsea have also announced that Aina penned a new three-year contract before leaving for Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.

Aina has come through the academy system at Stamford Bridge, with six first-team outings being made since graduating from the youth setup.
