Super Eagles Star, Ola Aina Return To Premier League After A Year To Join Fulham

Share This
Fulham have announced the signing of Ola Aina on a season-long loan from Serie A outfit Torino.
According to Goal, Fulham have the option to sign the former Chelsea defender permanently at the end of the 2020-21 season.

Recall that Aina left England last year after he joined Torino for €10 million from Chelsea.

The 23-year-old made 37 appearances for the Bull last campaign, which include 32 matches in Serie A.

“I feel very excited and privileged to be able to play for a club like this,” he told the club website. It feels amazing to be back closer to my family, back in the capital where I was born and raised.

“There’s a great bunch of lads here. I’m really good friends with Big Hec and Josh Onomah.

“I feel very comfortable on either foot, I can fill in wherever needs be. I’d say I’m pretty quick and I like to attack, but I also like to help the team and do the dirty work as much as I can.”

In his reaction, Fulham owner Tony Khan defended the acquisition of the Nigeria international who could remain at Craven Cottage if they retain their top-flight status at the end of the season.

“I’m pleased to announce the arrival of Ola Aina to Fulham on loan from Torino. Ola is an exciting young player who can further strengthen our squad this season in the Premier League,” Khan said.

“In our loan agreement, we’ve secured an option for a permanent transfer for Ola to potentially remain at Fulham if this season proves to be a good fit for us, which is a great situation for the club given our belief in Ola’s talent and in his potential. Come on Fulham!”

He will wear jersey number 34 for Fulham who returned to the Premier League after a season in the Championship.
Fulham will host Arsenal on Saturday in their season opener.
