Aina’s stellar performance in Forest’s shock 1-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield last weekend has further underlined his importance to Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.
The 27-year-old’s disciplined display caught the eye of Premier League legend Alan Shearer, who included him in his Team of the Week.
“Part of a fine defensive display from Forest, Aina kept the in-form Luis Diaz quiet, which is no mean feat,” Shearer said.
Forest’s chief football officer Ross Wilson previously praised Aina’s impact since joining the club last summer, highlighting his positive personality and on-pitch contributions.
“Since Ola joined the club last summer, he has impressed all of us with his performances both on the pitch and also with the positive personality that he brings to the group every day,” Wilson said when activating a one-year extension clause in Aina’s contract at the end of last season.
