The Super Eagles right-back is nearing the end of his contract at Torino, and he could be on his way to the Premier League 

English Premier League club Leeds are looking to sign Super Eagles right-back Ola Aina as a replacement for former Barcelona player Junior Firpo.

Aina joined Torino from Chelsea in 2019, but he went on a season-long loan to Fulham in his first season.

Unfortunately for the Super Eagles star, the Cottagers suffered relegation in that same season and Aina had to return to Italy.

Since he returned to the Bulls, Aina has been decent. He had a bad patch after he returned from the last Africa Cup of Nations in 2022, but he regained his place in Ivan Juric’s side.

This season, Aina has been a regular for Torino, making eleven appearances and getting on the scoresheet once.

For Aina, his future is pretty much in the balance, as his contract at Torino expires at the end of the season. Still, there have been no concrete contract talks between him and the club.

The 26-year-old will be free to talk to suitors at the turn of the year, and he could favour a return to the Premier League.

According to Leeds United news, Leeds are interested in procuring the services of the former Chelsea man as a replacement for former Barcelona man Junior Firpo.

Firpo joined Barcelona in 2019, but he failed to live up to the billing. He then switched to Leeds United but has not impressed since his €15million-transfer to Leeds United last year. He has made just two Premier League appearances this season, and Leeds may be looking to let him go soon.

If Aina eventually joins the team, Firpo’s chances would be highly limited at Leeds, and he would have to leave the club.
