Ola Aina is on the verge of signing a new long-term contract with Nottingham Forest, solidifying his position as a key player for the club beyond the current season.
The 28-year-old Super Eagles defender has been instrumental in Forest’s unexpected push for a Champions League spot, delivering consistency across the backline with 35 appearances, two goals, and an assist.
Aina’s impressive performances have made him a top performer under manager Nuno Espirito Santo, and his ability to play on both flanks has helped stabilize Forest’s defense.

Although his current contract was set to expire at the end of June, Aina had earlier triggered an automatic one-year extension clause, securing his stay at the City Ground until the 2025/26 season.
According to the Telegraph, Aina’s new deal would reflect his importance to the team.
Nottingham Forest currently sit seventh in the Premier League standings with two games left to play, and retaining Aina’s services would be crucial for their future success.
