Torino prepare January offer for Chelsea loanee Aina

Chelsea's desire to keep Ola Aina will be tested in January.

According to the Evening Standard, Aina is being targeted by Serie A side Torino, where he is currently on loan for the season.

The 22-year-old has performed admirably for Il Toro, having made 10 league appearances.

There were suggestions that a permanent option to buy worth £8.7million was included in Aina's loan deal, however, this was not confirmed by either club.

Aina signed a new contract with Chelsea in August that keeps him at Stamford Bridge until 2021.

However, with more established names ahead of him in the pecking order, it is unclear whether his future remains in west London.
