In an exciting transfer development, Nottingham Forest has successfully secured the services of talented Nigerian defender Ola Aina, as confirmed by renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
The 27-year-old is set to join the Premier League club on a two-year contract, with the option for a potential extension until June 2026.
Aina’s arrival at the City Ground marks a significant addition to the team’s defensive lineup and is anticipated to bring a new level of skill and expertise to the club.
The deal comes as Aina’s contract with Serie A club Torino reached its expiration at the end of the last season, making him available as a free agent.
Before joining Nottingham Forest, Aina showcased his abilities in the Premier League during the 2020/2021 season while on loan with Fulham, garnering praise for his strong defensive performances and versatility on the field.
The upcoming routine medical will finalize his move to the club and pave the way for an exciting new chapter in his career.
The Nigerian defender will be joining fellow compatriots Emmanuel Dennis and Taiwo Awoniyi at Nottingham Forest, further bolstering the club’s Nigerian contingent.
With Dennis and Awoniyi already established as key members of the Reds squad, Aina’s inclusion is expected to create a formidable Nigerian trio that will undoubtedly add depth and diversity to the team’s playing style.
As Forest’s preparations for the upcoming season continue, fans eagerly await the sight of Aina donning the club’s colors and making his mark on the Premier League once again.
His proven track record, defensive prowess, and ability to contribute both on and off the ball are certain to make him a valuable asset for the team.
With the prospect of a potential contract extension, Nottingham Forest is showing their commitment to securing Aina’s services for the long term. As the deal nears its completion, supporters and football enthusiasts alike eagerly anticipate witnessing Ola Aina’s talents unfold in the red and white jersey, making a strong impact on the club’s fortunes in the seasons to come.
