"Torino Football Club is pleased to announce that it has acquired outright from Young Boys the rights of the player Josef Alexander Martinez," a statement on the Italian club's official website read.
"The Venezuelan striker has signed a contract that will bind him to the club until June 30, 2018."
He then returned to his parent club and netted three in a further 18 games as Young Boys qualified for next season's UEFA Europa League.
