Torino are ready to take up the £9million option to sign Nigeria full back Ola Aina from English Premier League club, Chelsea.
The Serie A club have a permanent deal written into Aina’s season-long loan and Torino have been hugely impressed with his progress.
Aina, 22, was loaned out after struggling to make the grade at Chelsea but has developed into a key player for Torino this season.
The London-born Nigeria international has made 20 league appearances since arriving at the Stadio Olimpico last summer.
He scored his first Torino goal last Sunday to hand his side a 1-0 win over Udinese that cemented their place in the top half of the Serie A table.
