Ola Aina is helping Nottingham Forest immensely

Ola Aina came through Chelsea academy but moved to Torino in 2018 to get adequdate amount of game-time. He made his return to the Premier League when Nottingham Forest signed him in the summer of 2023. The return has been fruitfut

Aina is one of the most important members of Nottingham Forest and is putting in solid performances this season. He has two goals and an assist in 30 games so far. He is averaging 1.8 tackles, 1 interception, and 3 clearances per game (stats via whoscored).

The Nigerian primarily plays as the right-back but can also operate as the left full-back if required. He is known for his aggressive style of play and incredible dribbling skills. He provides value in the defensive section but is also a vital contributor while going higher on the pitch.

Ola Aina can provide useful powers

Chelsea have been inconsitent this season despite spending large in the transfer window. Bringing so many players haven’t helped them in grouping a working XI. However, they remain keen on building a winning long-term project.

The Blues have set their eyes on Ola Aina, who has been very impressive this season. Aina can help Enzo Maresca‘s side significantly and help them in winning games. He is at the peak of his powers and has some useful years left in him.

Nottingham Forest are trying to tie down the 28-year-old on new terms as his contract is expiring at the end of the season. There is an option of extending the contract for another 12 months, which the English outfit will surely do. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can lure away the player or go after another name.
