Leeds United target Ola Aina could seal Premier League return amid Inter Milan interest
Torino defender Ola Aina is reportedly a transfer target for Leeds United and Inter Milan as he appears likely to leave in the summer.
According to Inter Live on 12 February, the Nigerian full-back may return to the Premier League, having spent stints at Chelsea and Fulham, but is likelier to move to Inter who could offer him the chance.
As his contract runs out at the end of the season, he will be available on a free transfer in the summer.
Will take it
Aina is a right-back by trade but can also play as a left-back and will be a very good option to have in the side.
Junior Firpo’s performances haven’t been that great and if there is a decent offer for him, we’re certain that Leeds will consider selling him.
Even at right-back, Luke Ayling isn’t going to be around forever and is not the same player he was in his prime either.
Cody Drameh may also want to leave the club so it would be wise to bring in someone like Aina, especially if he’s available on a free transfer.
However, signing him ahead of Inter Milan will be a challenge and it remains to be seen how serious they are about him.
In the 2020-21campaign, the Premier League official website waxed his lyrical for a “phenomenal” goal he scored against West Brom and he would certainly be remembering that strike and perhaps wanting to add a few more in England’s top flight.
