Chelsea prospect Aina is Hull boss Leonid Slutsky’s first signing of what should be a busy summer for the Tigers.
The full-back travelled north from west London on Monday to thrash out the deal.
The classy kid just had to pass a medical before joining the club for their pre-season tour of Portugal.
Despite being 20, Aina has never been out on loan before, spending all of the last 10 years at Chelsea.

And he managed three Premier League appearances came off the bench for Antonio Conte’s title-winning side.
