Torino 'want Ola Aina on permanent deal'

Torino will reportedly make a permanent bid for Chelsea defender Ola Aina in the January transfer window.

Aina, 22, has been with Chelsea since 2007 and has made six first-team appearances for the Blues.

The full-back spent the entire 2017-18 campaign on loan at Hull City in the Championship, before completing a loan move to Torino during the summer transfer window.

Aina has made 10 appearances for the Serie A outfit this term, and according to the London Evening Standard, Torino will make a bid to sign him on a permanent deal at the start of 2019 having been impressed with his performances.

The defender, who is a five-time Nigeria international, only signed a new contract with Chelsea in August, with his deal due to run until 2021.
