Nigerian international defender Ola Aina is on the verge of signing a new long-term contract with Premier League side Nottingham Forest, according to reports from The Telegraph.

The 28-year-old full-back, whose current deal with the Tricky Trees is set to expire at the end of this season, has reportedly decided to commit his future to the club despite earlier speculation linking him with a move away from the City Ground.

Aina has been one of Nottingham Forest's standout performers this season, making 35 league appearances while contributing two goals and one assist. His consistent performances have made him a key figure in Nuno Espirito Santo's squad since joining the club on a free transfer two years ago.

The defender's decision to extend his stay comes as welcome news for Forest fans, who have appreciated his reliability and versatility in the backline throughout the current campaign.

Aina, who has previously played for Chelsea, Torino, and Fulham, has established himself as one of the most consistent Nigerian players in the Premier League this season, further cementing his reputation as a dependable defender at the highest level of English football.

The details of the new contract have not yet been officially disclosed, but the agreement is expected to keep the Nigerian international at Nottingham Forest for the foreseeable future as the club looks to build stability under manager Nuno Espirito Santo.
