Ola Aina will complete a €10 million move to Torino in the summer, according to reports in Italy.
As per claims made by Tuttosport, as cited on Football Italia, the club have reached an agreement with Chelsea to take up their option to buy the player.
Aina has been impressing in Serie A this season and Torino are keen to tie down his services.
As part of the loan agreement, Torino had the option to sign Aina at a pre-arranged price of €10 million.
A relatively small cost that now looks like a bargain for the Italian outfit, with Aina among the best performing young defenders in Serie A this season.
Walter Mazzarri is said to be a huge admirer and it remains to be seen what amount of first-team football, if any at all, will be on offer in London next season.
Cesar Azpilicueta has captained the side from right-back this season but there have been question marks surrounding his performances of late.
With a transfer ban on the way, Aina’s departure could be another deal that does not go down well with supporters.
