Ola Aina
28-Year-Old
Nottingham Forest
Premier
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Aina was a mainstay for Nottingham Forest much of the 2024/25 season, putting his mark on the right-back spot after only missing three games, all of which were due to injury. He managed over 3,000 minutes on the right flank, fourth most on the team. He was effective on both ends of the pitch, registering 33 interceptions, 55 tackles and 106 clearances to go with 59 crosses. His upside is limited by Forest's defensive nature, which resulted in just two goals and one assist for Aina. At a minimum, more clean sheets will be available, making him plenty relevant as a full-back.

Fit once again
Aina (undisclosed) started and appeared for 61 minutes in a friendly against Al Qadasiya.
ANALYSIS
Aina suffered a blow last weekend in a friendly against Birmingham City but has made his return to the field just a week late, starting in the club's last friendly ahead of the season. This does put him in a spot to be for their opener on Aug. 17. He is set to start and should claim that role on opening day after returning to play, slated to start on the right flank of he defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Man City showing interest?
Manchester City are believed to be interested in Aina, according to Football Insider.
ANALYSIS
Aina has been one of the best full-backs in the Premier League this season, and the defender could make the biggest jump of his career if he were to join Manchester City. However, Nottingham are sitting in a very good position in the Permier League standings, and the Nigeria international is not likely to change teams midway through what has been a historical campaign for the Trick Trees.
