Leeds United could 'come forward' for ex-Chelsea academy star as contract expiry looms

Leeds United have been named as a potential destination for Torino full-back Ola Aina, according to Italian newspaper Tuttosport (via Sports Witness ).

Aina is out of contract at the end of the season and will soon be able to sign a pre-contract agreement with another club. Torino had previously been slow to offer him a new deal after he struggled for game time last season.

However, the Nigerian international has returned to the fold in the 2022/23 season to make 10 league appearances for Torino.

The Serie A outfit want to sell him in January instead of losing him on a free transfer and the report named Leeds as one of the English sides who could come forward.

He has also enjoyed loan spells at Hull City and Fulham respectively, as well as the three-and-a-half seasons that he's spent in Italy with Torino.
