Nottingham, England — Nigerian defender Ola Aina has emerged as a transfer target for Premier League heavyweights Liverpool and Manchester City, with both clubs closely monitoring his situation at Nottingham Forest.
Aina, whose contract with Forest is set to expire in a few months, has yet to agree to an extension, leaving his future uncertain.
The Tricky Trees are eager to secure the 28-year-old to a new deal, as his impressive performances this season have attracted attention from top clubs.
Aina recently marked his 50th Premier League appearance for Nottingham Forest in their clash against Manchester City last weekend, further cementing his status as a key player.
Liverpool view Aina as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who has been linked with a summer move to Real Madrid. Meanwhile, Manchester City see him as an ideal successor to Kyle Walker, who is reportedly set for a permanent switch to AC Milan.
Aina initially joined Nottingham Forest on a free transfer two years ago and has since established himself as a crucial part of their defensive setup.
With two of England’s biggest clubs expressing interest, the coming months could be pivotal for Aina’s next career move.
