Chelsea could lose Aina as Torino consider €8m permanent deal

Torino are weighing up using the €8 million (£7m/$9m) option to sign Ola Aina permanently after being impressed with the Chelsea loanee’s displays since his arrival in Italy in the summer.

The 22-year-old has spoken about his long-term desire to return to the Premier League but Goal understands he is open to remaining in Serie A, where he has found top-flight game time under Torino coach Walter Mazzarri.

The London-born Nigeria international has played 11 times and scored once since completing his move to Turin off the back of renewing his Chelsea contract until 2021 over the summer.
