Soccer-Fulham sign Torino wing back Aina on season-long loan

Sept 11 (Reuters) - Fulham have signed wing back Ola Aina on
a season-long loan from Italian Serie A side Torino, the
promoted Premier League club said on Friday.
Fulham also have an option to make the 23-year-old's arrival
permanent and the Nigeria international said he was happy to
return to London where he was born and raised.
"It feels amazing to be back closer to my family, back in
the capital," Aina told the club's media channel.
"There's a great bunch of lads here. I'm really good friends
with Big Hec (Michael Hector) and Josh Onomah."
Aina, who came through neighbouring Chelsea's youth system,
spent the last two seasons with Torino, where he played 69 times
with his versatility allowing him to play on either flank.
"I feel very comfortable on either foot, I can fill in
wherever needs be," he added. "I'd say I'm pretty quick and I
like to attack, but I also like to help the team and do the
dirty work as much as I can."
Aina's signing follows the capture of midfielder Harrison
Reed, goalkeeper Alphonse Areola, right back Kenny Tete and
midfielder Mario Lemina and left back Antonee Robinson while
winger Anthony Knockaert's loan move was made permanent.
Fulham, who gained promotion to the Premier League after
winning the second-tier Championship playoffs last season, begin
their campaign on Saturday with a visit from fellow London side
Arsenal.
