Torunarigha began his professional career with Hertha BSC, where he developed a reputation for his strong defensive skills and physical presence on the field.

He has also made appearances for the Nigerian national team, contributing to the team’s defensive lineup.

His recent performances in domestic leagues and international matches have caught the attention of several clubs. He has showcased his ability to read the game and challenge opponents.

West Ham is reportedly looking to strengthen their defense and sees Torunarigha as a suitable candidate to bolster their squad, especially with the potential departures of key players. The Italian side Monza aims to build a competitive squad for the upcoming season, and Torunarigha’s experience and skill set are highly appealing as they look to solidify their defensive structure.

However, Bologna is keen on adding depth to their defensive options. Torunarigha’s ability to adapt to different styles of play makes him an attractive option for the club.

As clubs assess their budgets and roster needs, Torunarigha’s current contract status will play a crucial role in any potential transfer negotiations.

The upcoming transfer window could present an exciting opportunity for both him and the interested clubs as they look to enhance their squads for future challenges.

He has appeared in 104 official matches for The Buffalos, including 94 starts, and won the Belgian Cup in 2021-2022.
