According to Completesports, Nottingham Forest is optimistic that Ola Aina will soon sign a new contract. The Tricky Trees are making efforts to secure the long-term future of the Nigerian international, whose current contract is set to end this summer. As reported by The Athletic, negotiations between the club and Aina’s representatives are now well underway. The full-back has been crucial in Forest’s efforts to secure a spot in continental competitions for the upcoming season. The 28-year-old has netted two goals in 27 league matches for the Reds this season. Aina joined Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad on a free transfer in July 2023, signing a one-year deal. Last summer, Forest exercised a one-year extension option for the defender.
