Aina moved to Torino from Chelsea for £9m last season. The Italians made his switch permanent after he impressed on loan during the previous campaign.
Aina, who has been used as a full back on both sides, came through the ranks at Fulham's neighbours Chelsea, and made six appearances for the club before moving to Italy for regular senior football.
He has also enjoyed a loan spell at Hull.
