There are indications that Nigeria defender Ola Aina may renew his contract with Nottingham Forest despite interest from Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City.
TEAMtalk reports that Forest is favoured to keep Aina as he is willing to extend his stay at the City Ground.
The highly improved EPL side has been in advanced discussions to extend Aina’s contract, whose current deal expires at the end of the current season. He joined them from Italian side Torino in the summer of 2023 for just €3.50m.
The 28-year-old is making a huge statement with his performance in the English Premier League this season, contributing quantitatively and qualitatively to the ambitions of Nuno Espirito Santos’s men, who are chasing a UEFA Champions League qualification next season.
In the process, the Chelsea academy product has scored two goals and given one assist in 29 Premier League games this campaign.
Aside from that, he has established himself as a key figure in Nuno’s team as he is ranked the best ball-winner in defensive areas across Europe’s top five leagues, according to statistics from WhoScored.
