Chelsea loanee Ola Aina 'close to completing permanent Torino switch'

Torino will take up the option of signing Ola Aina from Chelsea on a permanent deal at the end of the campaign, according to a report.

The 22-year-old has made 24 appearances for the Serie A side in all competitions during his season-long stint.

Aina also spent last season out on loan with Hull City and is not part of Chelsea's plans, despite enjoying a positive season with Torino.

Goal.com reports that the Maroons have the right to sign the Nigeria international outright for £8.7m, which they intend to do in June.

The report also suggests that Aina could be the first of many Chelsea loan players to leave the club this summer as they are aiming to trim their squad.
