Nuno Espirito Santo, the manager of Premier League side Nottingham Forest, has made it clear that retaining 27-year-old Super Eagles star Ola Aina is a top priority for the club.

Since joining from Torino last summer, the Nigerian defender has demonstrated exceptional talent and versatility on the pitch, earning the admiration of fans and the team management, Footballrover reports.

Nottingham Forest’s contract plans for Ola Aina

Aina initially signed a one-year contract with the option for an additional year when he joined Nottingham Forest in 2022.

He extended this deal over the summer, but his current agreement is set to expire at the season’s end.

With the winter transfer window approaching in January, Aina will be eligible to negotiate pre-contract agreements with other clubs, posing a potential risk for the Tricky Trees.

In response, Nottingham Forest is reportedly preparing to present Aina with a new four-year contract, according to rumours.

This move aims to secure his future at the City Ground and ensure that the club can continue to benefit from his contributions.

Santo emphasised Aina’s impact during a recent press briefing before their match against Chelsea, stating that,

“Ola Aina has been exceptional since joining us. We’re eager to secure his future with the club.” 

Aina’s commitment to Nottingham Forest

However, it appears that Aina shares the club’s enthusiasm about his future.
He is keen on continuing his journey with Nottingham Forest, as indicated in various reports.

Since his arrival, he has made 28 league appearances and scored once and has managed to hold on to his place, remaining a valuable asset to the team.
