Ola Aina Keen To Quit Torino Amidst West Ham, Everton Interests

The Nigeria international is only ten months into a four-year contract with the Serie A side, but he could make a return to England sooner than anticipated.

Torino wing-back Ola Aina would consider a move back to the Premier League in the summer with both West Ham and Everton interested in the 23-year-old defender, according to a La Gazzetta Dello Sport report as per Calciomercato.

The former Chelsea defender impressed on loan at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino during the 2018/19 season, playing a part in 30 Serie A matches as Il Toro ended the campaign in a stunning seventh position.

Aina subsequently made his move permanent last summer for a reported fee of £9 million, but the Super Eagles fullback has endured an indifferent campaign this term, making 20 appearances as Torino struggled to replicate last season’s form before COVID-19 shut down the Italian first division.

Reportedly homesick and feeling the impact of living away from his family who are still based in England, Aina would entertain any offer in the summer from Premier League clubs.
