Torino to exercise €10 million buy option for Chelsea’s Ola Aina

Italian Serie A side Torino have confirmed that they will exercise their €10 million option to buy Chelsea defender Ola Aina.

The 22-year-old wing-back joined the Bull at the start of last season on loan and has settled in Turin.

Aina helped Walter Mazzarri's men keep 21 clean sheets in 32 appearances across all competitions, and played a key role as they finished the season in the seventh on the Serie A table with 63 points, scoring once and providing three assists.

On the back of his impressive performances, club president Urbano Cairo has stated that Toro will start the paperwork to sign the youngster.
