Rumour Mills: Ola Aina set to sign new long-term deal with Nottingham Forest

By Wale Mustapha

Nigerian international Ola Aina is close to agreeing a new long-term contract with Premier League side Nottingham Forest, as reported by The Telegraph.

The versatile full-back is set to see out his current deal at the end of the season, but talks over an extension have progressed positively, with both parties keen on a continued partnership.

Aina had previously been linked with a move away from the City Ground, but recent developments suggest the Super Eagles defender is now prepared to commit his future to the Tricky Trees.

The 27-year-old has been one of the standout performers for Forest under manager Nuno Espírito Santo this season, impressing with his consistency and versatility across the backline.

Since joining the club two years ago, Aina has made 35 Premier League appearances this campaign, contributing two goals and one assist. His performances have drawn praise from fans and pundits alike for his work rate and tactical intelligence.

Aina previously played for Fulham and Torino, and has become a key figure in Forest’s efforts to stabilize in the Premier League.
