Premier League clubs West Ham United and Everton are keen on signing Torino right-back Ola Aina at the end of the season – as per reports.
Ola Aina is a product of Chelsea’s youth academy but much like other players he took failed to break into the first-team forcing the Blues to eventually sell him off to Torino last summer.
But now reports claim the player is already feeling homesick and wants to return back to the Premier League in the summer which is why West Ham United and Everton have made a move to sign him.
The right-back has played in 20 Serie A games for Torino this season and with this pandemic scare in Italy, he does not wish to head back anytime soon.
And if he does decide to return back to England then chances are he will sign for West Ham and not Everton primarily since he’s spent all his life in London.
Ola Aina is under contract at the Italian side till 2023 meaning Torino are in no hurry to offload him but some rumours claim if the player wants to head out, the club will not stop him.

This is surely a good sign for the Hammers as well as Everton since both of them are looking to bring in new right-backs during the summer.
West Ham have Pablo Zabaleta who is on the wrong side of his playing career and Ryan Fredericks who has not been in the best of form this season meaning Aina could be a fine addition to the squad.
Everton too have similar problems with Kenny and Sidibe which is why Ancelotti too will use all his might to lure in Ola Aina during the summer.
It still remains to be seen if the full-back does decide to return back to the Premier League or not. And if he does then which club he ends up playing for.
