The Cottagers are in the process of bolstering their squad ahead of their return to the Premier League next season.

 

Fulham have raided Southampton for Harrison Reed and Mario Lemina, who arrived on loan, so far and have also signed Antonee Robinson from Wigan Athletic.

 

 

Now Scott Parker’s side have turned their attention towards strengthening the right-back spot and have identified Aina as a suitable candidate.

 

The London-based club are locked in talks with Serie A side Torino over a season-long loan deal for the 23-year-old.

 

 

Aina began his career in England, rising through the ranks at Chelsea’s academy.

 

He then had a loan spell at Hull City before moving to Italy and joining Torino on loan, a switch which was made permanent last summer.

 

 

Aina made 32 Serie A appearances for Torino last season and provided two assists.
