Following a loan move before moving permanently to Serie A side Torino lasts season, Ola Aina is back in England after completing another loan move, this time to newly-promoted Fulham.
The young defender will finally get his chance in the Premier League and, although his Chelsea dreams were crushed last season following an exit, a move to Fulham promises the gain of consistent top-flight action.
Ola Aina follows the likes of Anthony Knockaert, Harrison Reed and Mario Lemina to all walk through the doors of Craven Cottage ahead of the new season. In total, Scott Parker has added seven players to his play-off winning squad with Alphonse Areola, Antonee Robinson and Kenny Tete joining the aforementioned four.

Time for Ola Aina to Take his Chance?
The 23-year-old did well while in the Serie A, picking up crucial experience along the way, but finds himself out on loan once more from Torino.
Should he take his chance in the Premier League with Fulham, however, Torino may have to reconsider their current stance when it comes to the fullback. With competition so fierce in Italy, perhaps now is the perfect time for Ola Aina to prove himself elsewhere and convince Fulham of a permanent move.
What Was Said?
After putting pen to paper to complete the loan move, Ola Aina told the Fulham website: “I feel very excited and privileged to be able to play for a Club like this.
“It feels amazing to be back closer to my family, back in the capital where I was born and raised.
“There’s a great bunch of lads here. I’m really good friends with Big Hec and Josh Onomah.
“I feel very comfortable on either foot, I can fill in wherever needs be. I’d say I’m pretty quick and I like to attack, but I also like to help the team and do the dirty work as much as I can.”
