Ola Aina has been a key figure in Nottingham Forest’s remarkable campaign, with the Tricky Trees sitting fourth in the Premier League and eyeing a return to continental football for the first time since 1980.
Aina has chipped in with two goals and one assist across 30 Premier League matches, showcasing his versatility and impact at right-back.
In a recent interview, Former Manchester United winger Anthony Elanga, another breakout star for Forest, was asked to name his unsung hero of the campaign.
He didn’t hesitate to praise Aina and goalkeeper Mats Selz. “I’ve got two in mind (two players for the Team of the Season), I’ve got Ola (Aina) and also Mats Selz. I can’t lie, Selz has been second to none,” Elanga said.
With Aina’s contract set to expire at the end of the season, his future remains uncertain. Unless he signs an extension, he’ll become a free agent, and rumors have swirled about interest from heavyweights like Liverpool and Manchester City.
