Nottingham Forest manager, Nuno Espirito Santo is optimistic Super Eagles defender Ola Aina will sign a contract extension at the club.
Aina is in the final months of his contract with the Tricky Trees and will be allowed to speak to clubs from January 1.
Forest have reportedly opened talks with the Nigerian over an extension, and the club are keen to tie him down to a long-term deal.
“I think things are going well. I am a coach, I give my opinion, ” Santo said ahead of his side’s Premier League clash with Ipswich Town on Saturday.
“We love what Ola is doing. We love him as a player and as a person, but other people in the club handle those discussions, so we will see.”
Aina joined Nottingham Forest on a free transfer in 2023, signing a two-year deal.
