EPL: Nottingham Forest boss gives update on Aina’s contract

Nottingham Forest manager, Nuno Espirito Santo remains optimistic Ola Aina will sign a new contract at the club.

Aina has six months remaining on his current deal and is yet to put pen to paper on a new one.

The full-back is free to sign a pre-contract with a foreign club from this month.

Asked whether he is hopeful the club will soon have Aina and forward Chris Wood tied down, Santo said: “I think so. I think things are going well and the players are working very good.”

The Nigeria international joined Forest as a free agent from Italian club Torino in 2023.

Forest then extended his stay by a season last summer.

The 27-year-old has scored twice in 19 league appearances for the Tricky Trees this season.
