Aina set for Fulham switch


Nigerian International, Olaoluwa Aina has reportedly agreed a loan deal that will see him make a return to the Premier League with newly-promoted Fulham. The Cottagers have agreed a deal that will bring the wing-back on loan from Italian club, Torino with an option to buy him for €12.5 million, according to Sky Sport Italia.

It is a return to his home town for Aina, who was born in London and came up through the Chelsea youth academy. He moved to Torino in 2018, initially on loan and then on a permanent basis for just under €10 million.

There have been some suggestions that the move would result in an obligation to buy. Aina has amassed 62 Serie A appearances, contributing one goal and five assists.
