“Nottingham Forest welcomes Super Eagles standout Ola Aina to their ranks, joining fellow Nigerian talents Emmanuel Dennis and Taiwo Awoniyi. The versatile Nigerian international, who had previously represented Torino, is making a return to the Premier League with Forest, signing a one-year contract with potential extensions.
Having earned 30 international caps for Nigeria since pledging his commitment to the Super Eagles in 2017, Aina expressed his enthusiasm for the move in an interview with the Nottingham Forest website. He spoke about his excitement to be back on English soil and praised Forest’s captivating project and team.
Aina shared his admiration for the manager’s vision, stating that he is eager to be a part of it. The defender highlighted the familial atmosphere at the club and the quality of the squad, making him look forward to the experience.
The Premier League return is particularly thrilling for Aina, as he believes it is the best league globally and seeks to challenge himself at the highest level. Notably, Aina will find some familiar faces at Nottingham Forest, having already been acquainted with some of the players on the team, including fellow Nigerian stars Dennis and Awoniyi.”
He stated, “It’s great for me to already know some of the guys, but I’m equally thrilled to meet the rest of my teammates and build relationships with everyone.
With Dennis and Awoniyi facing visa complications, Aina will now link up with the Nottingham Forest squad during their pre-season tour.”
