Nigerian defender Ola Aina has been turning heads in the English Premier League, earning a well-deserved spot in the Team of the Week for his stellar performance during Nottingham Forest’s 2-0 victory over Brentford on Saturday.

The 27-year-old showcased his attacking prowess by netting Forest’s opening goal, a moment that set the tone for the Tricky Trees’ triumph. This marked Aina’s second goal of the season, further solidifying his reputation as a versatile and impactful player.

Aina’s inclusion in the Team of the Week comes as no surprise to Forest fans, who have witnessed his consistency and dedication on the pitch. With 17 league appearances under his belt this season, the Nigeria international has been a cornerstone of Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad.

Not only has he been a standout performer in matches, but Aina also claimed Nottingham Forest’s Player of the Month accolade in November, a testament to his hard work and influence on the team.

As Forest continues to climb the league table, Aina’s brilliance remains a key ingredient in their success. Fans will undoubtedly be watching closely as he aims to keep his momentum and make an even greater impact this season.
