Newly-promoted English club Fulham have agreed a deal to bring Nigeria defender Ola Aina to the Craven Cottage on loan from Italian club Torino.


Sky Sports Italia claims, Fulham will have an option to buy the Nigerian for €12.5m.

Aina will be returning to his home town as he was born in London and came through the Chelsea Youth Academy.

In 2018, the Nigeria international joined Torino on loan initially and later became permanent for just below €10m.

The defender is reportedly now on his way to Fulham on a loan deal with an option to buy for €12.5m.

Ola Aina has made 62 Italian top flight appearances, netted once and recorded five assists.
