Ola Aina has long be linked with a Premier League return after failing to reach a contract extension agreement with Torino.

Aina joined Torino in 2018 from Chelsea, initially on a loan deal, before the Italians made the deal permanent the following season, after an impressive campaign.

The defender has become an integral part of manager Ivan Juri?’s side, having featured in 10 Serie A games so far this season, scoring a goal.
