Ola Aina on Premier Lea.gue Radar: Liverpool and City Ready to Strike.
Premier League heavyweights Liverpool and Manchester City are reportedly eyeing Nigerian defender Ola Aina as a potential summer signing.
Aina’s contract with Nottingham Forest is set to expire in a few months, and despite the club’s strong desire to keep him, he has yet to agree to an extension. Forest are eager to secure the 28-year-old’s future, but his standout performances this season have attracted interest from top clubs.
The Nigerian international has been a key figure for Forest, recently marking his 50th Premier League appearance in the match against Manchester City last weekend. His consistency and defensive strength have not gone unnoticed, with both Liverpool and City now considering him as a valuable addition to their squads.
According to The Sun UK, Liverpool view Aina as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is rumored to be on Real Madrid’s radar this summer. Meanwhile, Manchester City are lining him up as a successor to Kyle Walker, who is expected to complete a permanent move to AC Milan.
Aina joined Forest on a free transfer two years ago under the management of Nuno Espírito Santo. His versatility and defensive capabilities have made him one of the most consistent performers at the club, putting him in high demand ahead of the summer transfer window.
The coming months could prove decisive as both Liverpool and City prepare to battle it out for Aina’s signature.
