Looks like Ola Aina’s sticking around with Nottingham Forest for a bit longer! Word is, the Nigerian defender’s about to sign a new deal with the Tricky Trees, and honestly, it’s no surprise. He’s been loving life at the club, and the way he’s been playing this season? Absolute class.
Aina’s been a total standout—31 games under his belt across all comps, popping in a couple of goals, and even dishing out an assist. But it’s not just about the attack; he’s been rock-solid at the back, too. The guy’s got an 81% pass completion rate and has been a brick wall in defense. No wonder he just nabbed a spot in the Premier League Team of the Week—he’s making waves out there.
Sure, other clubs have been sniffing around, probably hoping to snag him, but it seems like Aina’s heart’s set on staying put. People close to him say he’s all about keeping the good vibes going at the City Ground instead of chasing something new. Can’t blame him when things are clicking like this.
If he does sign that extension, it’s massive for Forest. They’re pushing hard to lock down their spot in the Premier League and maybe even sneak into the Champions League conversation. With Aina bringing it on both ends of the pitch, he’s turned into a player they can’t afford to lose. Good news for the fans, that’s for sure!
