Chelsea youngster scores staggering goal from the halfway line
CHELSEA youngster Ola Aina ensured he caught the eye of onlooking scouts last night with a staggering halfway-line goal.
Ola Aina is reportedly wanted by Arsenal
Aina, 19, was playing for Chelsea's Under-21s against Tottenham when he pulled the trigger inside his own half.
The defender is reportedly a transfer target of Arsenal's as his stint at Chelsea nears its end.

His contract in west London expires this summer and The Daily Mirror claim the Gunners are interested in snapping him up.
Arsenal are expected to offload right-back Mathieu Debuchy by the end of this transfer window, leaving them light in that position for the rest of the season.
And with Carl Jenkinson out for the foreseeable future with a knee injury, Aina is reportedly on Arsene Wenger's radar as he seeks back-up for first-choice right-back Hector Bellerin.
