Chelsea loan star could make move permanent

Chelsea look set to be tested by Torino for the signature of loanee Ola Aina.

According to The Standard, the Italians want to sign the Nigerian on a permanent deal during the January transfer window.

The wing-back has been at Stamford Bridge since he was ten-years-old. Since then he has progressed through the youth ranks, going on to make six first-team appearances.

Regular first-team opportunities have been rare, with the 22-year-old spending last season on loan in The Championship with Hull City.

Aina has made a bright start in Turin making eight appearances, impressing Il Toro boss Walter Mazzarri.
