Nigeria international and FC Torino wing-back Ola Aina has expressed his happiness at finally representing the country of his beloved parents.

Our first objective was to win the trophy in Egypt but unfortunately, we couldn’t achieve that. In the end, we won bronze which wasn’t bad as well, ” Aina reportedly said.
