Ivan Juric highlights three attributes Super Eagles star will offer for Torino

Published: August 03, 2021

Torino manager Ivan Juric has highlighted three attributes Ola Aina will offer for the Maroons in the forthcoming season.

The Super Eagles star has resumed pre-season training at Torino, after spending the entirety of the 2020-2021 campaign on loan at Fulham who passed up the opportunity to sign him permanently as a result of their demotion to the Championship.

Aina is keen on making a return to the English football but the versatile wing-back is definitely in the plans of the Torino manager for the forthcoming season.

Juric noted that Aina is a player capable of playing from either flank, has good dribbling and crossing skills.

Speaking to La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Calciomercato), the Croatian said : "Ola Aina can play on both sides. I also like because he brings his “London style” into the group, a different vision of the world.

"Then he has quality, cross and dribbling: he needs to improve, but the player is there. "

Since joining Torino in 2018-19, first on loan before the deal was made permanent the following season, Aina has totaled 69 appearances for the club in all competitions.
