Torino are locked in talks with Chelsea about a permanent deal for Ola Aina.

On-loan this season in Turin, the Blues fullback has already done enough to convince Toro to seek a permanent transfer.

Toro sports chief Gianluca Petrachi is currently speaking with Chelsea about closing a deal this month.

A fee of €10m has been mentioned for Aina - a price Torino have been encouraged to meet with expectations it could easily double in six months' time.

For his part, the defender is open to extending his stay in Italy beyond the end of this season.
