Leeds United are interested in bringing former Chelsea wing-back Ola Aina back to England, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport (9 June, page 14).
The report has claimed that Leeds have made their move to sign Aina from Torino through international intermediaries.

Torino are open to selling the formerChelsea wing-back and do not want to hinder his career, but the Italian club will not sell him for a fee below their valuation, according to the Italian publication.
Former Chelsea player Ola Aina could flourish at Leeds United
In our view, Ola Aina could flourish at Leeds United, and the wing-back could be tempted to return to the Premier League and show Chelsea his progress and development since his departure from Stamford Bridge.
The Nigeria international made only a handful of appearances for the Chelsea first team and was out on loan at Hull City and Torino during his time at the Blues.
Aina, who had a loan spell at Fulham from Torino in 2020-21, could feel that he has unfinished business at Leeds.
The Nigerian is 25 now, so a move back to England and play for a big club such as Leeds could be very tempting to him.
Aina made 17 starts and four substitute appearances in Serie A for Torino this past season.
Chelsea sold Aina to Torino for £8.67 million (The Sun).
