West Ham United reportedly could sign full-back Ola Aina on a free transfer this summer.
According to BSNSports.com.ng in Nigeria, Ola Aina is a target for West Ham in the summer transfer window, and the East London outfit could move in to sign him when his contract expires with Torino on June 30th.

With Hammers boss David Moyes on the look-out for a new right-back before the start of next season, it would be no surprise if he were to go back in for the Nigerian.
And it seems as though that’s exactly what could be about to happen…
West Ham could bring Ola Aina back to the Premier League on a free transfer
BSNSports.com.ng reckon that the Hammers and Fulham are battling it out for the right-back’s signature this summer.
The 26-year-old joined Torino from Chelsea in the summer of 2019 for around £9 million (Goal).
The 17-capped Nigeria international is strong, quick along the ground and is also a very good defender.
I have to say though, I’m not overly excited by this rumour. There are far better young right-backs out there with more pace and dynamism than Aina.
I would much rather Moyes show more ambition and sign someone like Timo Livramento or Jeremie Frimpong.
West Ham signing Ola Aina wouldn’t be the worst move in the world – there are definitely worse right-backs out there.
However, it would be a signing that is hugely underwhelming in my opinion, and it would be a sign of the owners’ lack of ambition.
