Super Eagles defender, Ola Aina, is the highest Nigerian earner in the Italian Serie A for the 2019/20 season, Sports Extra reports.

According to Stadio Sport, Aina, who joined Torino on a permanent deal from Chelsea this summer for a reported £10m is on an annual salary of €1m (over N400m).

The wing-back earns approximately €19,230 (over N7.5 million) per week.

The newspaper also revealed that his compatriot, William Troost-Ekong earns (€400,000) per annum at Udinese.

Troost-Ekong joined Udinese from Bursaspor last summer after an impressive display at the 2018 World Cup in Russia.

Cristiano Ronaldo, unsurprisingly, tops the list of top earners in the Italian Serie A with an annual salary of €31m.
