Manchester City have reportedly identified Nottingham Forest’s Ola Aina as a potential successor to veteran right-back Kyle Walker, according to The Sun.
The 27-year-old defender has impressed this season, making 19 league appearances and scoring twice.
His versatility, being able to operate as both a right-back and left-back, has caught the attention of the Premier League champions, who are preparing for Walker’s eventual exit as he approaches the latter stages of his career at 34.
Aina, a graduate of Chelsea’s football academy, has just six months left on his current contract with Nottingham Forest, making him a viable target for City in the upcoming transfer windows.
His consistent performances have earned him recognition, with many lauding his adaptability and technical skill.
As the city plans for the future, Aina’s rise serves as a reminder of the rewards of hard work and persistence, giving his supporters and the nation reasons to celebrate his achievements.
