With uncertainty surrounding his future at Nottingham Forest after this season, Ola Aina has hinted at his willingness to remain at the City Ground.
The Nigeria international joined Nottingham Forest on a free transfer last summer after his contract with Torino came to an end.
The Tricky Trees recently extended Aina's current contract to retain him for the current season, but now they are seeking a longer-term agreement. This interest follows a strong start to the Premier League season, during which Aina has emerged as a key defensive leader amidst a challenging schedule.
Aina has featured in all four of Nottingham Forest’s opening matches in the Premier League, playing a pivotal role in the club’s unbeaten start to the season, which has positioned them 7th in the table, just two points shy of second-placed Arsenal.
Ola Aina: Thriving at Forest and embracing the journey ahead
Last weekend, the versatile defender played a crucial role in the team's surprising victory against Liverpool last weekend, contributing to a clean sheet at Anfield.
In an interview with BBC Radio Nottinghamshire, Ola Aina discussed the team's progress and hinted at the exciting possibilities ahead as both he and the club work towards continued success.
He remarked, “All I can say is that I'm really happy at Forest right now. It's a fantastic club, I feel at home, and yeah, I'm just building—the club is building too. Let's see what will happen in the future.”
Contract negotiations are anticipated in the coming weeks as Nottingham Forest aims to secure a player who has been a formidable presence in defence.
