Ola Aina Earns Spot in Premier League Team of the Week
Nigeria’s defender, Ola Aina, has earned a spot in the Premier League Team of the Week following his standout performance in Nottingham Forest’s 2-0 victory over Brentford on Saturday.
The 27-year-old full-back played a key role in the win, scoring Forest’s opening goal, which helped secure the three points for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side.
This goal marked Aina’s second of the season, showcasing his growing importance to the team.
Aina has been a consistent presence in the Forest lineup, having featured in 17 league matches so far this season.
In addition to his impressive display against Brentford, Aina’s contributions have been recognized by the club, as he was named Nottingham Forest’s Player of the Month for November.
This honour reflects his strong form and commitment to the team, as well as his ability to step up when needed.
Aina’s journey to the Premier League has been one of perseverance and determination.
Having previously played for the likes of Torino in Italy’s Serie A, the Nigerian international has continued to grow and adapt to the demands of top-tier football.
Chelsea player Enzo Fernández is in discussions to join Manchester City. This information was revealed by Fabrizio Romano, who shared that the two clubs are discussing a potential deal.
He wrote: “Enzo Fernández has a verbal agreement with Manchester City on personal terms.
“Deal depends on club-to-club decision, as #MCFC have not sent an official bid yet, but contacts will take place soon; decision on price is up to Chelsea.
“Enzo could be out again this weekend.”
Manchester City manager Enzo Maresca mentions his captains for the team. He mentions Rúben Dias and Erling Haaland.
He shared “We have experienced players. For sure, we have leaders. Now we need to wait four or five more days until the transfer window closes to see if we can add one or two more captains to Ruben [Dias] and Erling , who at the moment are the two captains.”
Maresca confirmed the pair as part of his leadership group ahead of the 2026/27 season, with two more captains expected to be selected after the transfer window closes.
Chelsea manager speaks on the team and shares thoughts on considering a change in goalkeepers, giving another goalkeeper, Mike Penders, a chance.
“Penders is part of the squad, so he has an opportunity. We will decide and then I am giving the team tomorrow to the players, so I prefer to respect that they know first.”
