Manchester City Eyes Ola Aina as Kyle Walker’s Successor
Manchester City has reportedly identified Nottingham Forest’s Ola Aina as a potential replacement for veteran defender Kyle Walker, according to The Sun.
Aina, 27, has been a standout performer for Forest in the Premier League this season, showcasing his versatility as both a right-back and left-back. He has contributed two goals in 19 league appearances, cementing his reputation as a reliable and adaptable defender.
Walker, now 34, is approaching the latter stages of his career, prompting City to begin their search for a long-term successor. Aina, a product of Chelsea’s football academy, could fit the bill for Pep Guardiola’s side.
The Nigerian international’s contract with Nottingham Forest expires in six months, making him a prime target for City, who might look to secure his services at a reduced fee in the upcoming transfer window.

The Police Public Relations Officer, SP Benjamin Hundeyin, then addressed the claims online and stated in his statement that he disagreed that the rumour is true and stated, “The spread of misinformation only causes more harm than good. In this era, we can and must do better.”

Former Kogi politician, Dino Melaye, faces backlash from the public after he shared a video on social media of him abroad and living well through his luxurious lifestyle.
