Boost for Everton and West Ham, 23-yr-old target could be available on a bargain - originally posted on Sportslens.com
Torino defender Ola Aina has been linked with a move to West Ham and Everton this summer.
As per Calciomercato (translated by Sportwitness), the Italian club won’t accept anything less than €10m for the player.
Aina was initially valued at around €18m and if West Ham or Everton could sign him for €10m, it would be a massive bargain for them.
The former Chelsea player can play in both full-back positions and Everton/West Ham could use someone like that.
West Ham, in particular, need to improve their full-back options. With Zabaleta on his way out, they are left with Fredericks as their only right-back option.
Aina has shown his quality in Serie A and he could be an upgrade on Fredericks next season.
The 23-year-old player is thought to be keen on a return to London as well. He wants to be closer to his family and that could give West Ham the edge over Everton.
Having said that, Everton have a more exciting project and a world-class manager in charge.
It will be interesting to see where the player ends up. He is likely to be tempted if the Premier League duo come calling with a concrete offer in the coming months.
