Speaking last month, the 27-year-old indicated he would commit to the Granata and he is thrilled to have agreed an extension. "Happy to continue with the Bull, with the same determination we will still face many battles together!!" Izzo wrote on Instagram .

Torino, which finished seventh in Serie A last season, will play in the Europa League in 2019-20 due to AC Milan's ban. Walter Mazzarri's side faces a qualifier against Hungarian outfit Debrecen, with the first leg to be played on Thursday.
