Chelsea send yet another youngster out on loan as England defender Ola Aina joins Hull for a season
Three Lions under-20 ace has won three FA Youth Cups and two UEFA Youth Leagues
CHELSEA have sent England right-back Ola Aina on a season-long loan to Hull.
The Three Lions under-20 ace has won three FA Youth Cups and two UEFA Youth Leagues and gone to the Championship for first-team experience.
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.
Last summer the hot prospect signed a four-year contract before making his first-team debut against Bristol Rovers in the EFL Cup.
And he managed three Premier League appearances came off the bench for Antonio Conte’s title-winning side.
Russian Slusky is believed to be close pals with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and that could have helped grease the wheels on the deal.
The Blues owner is a big supporter is a big backer of sport in his Russian home and Slutsky was the national boss between 2015-16.
