“We are Working Hard Every Week. It is Showing on the Pitch” – Ola Aina on Forest’s Top Four Push
Ola Aina is confident that Nottingham Forest can continue their strong form in the Premier League after securing a thrilling 3-2 win over Southampton at the City Ground on Sunday.
The victory helped Forest maintain their push for a top-four finish, with Nuno Espirito Santo’s side holding onto third place in the league standings.
Aina played a key role in the win, registering his first assist of the season by setting up Chris Wood for Forest’s third goal.
“We’re buzzing after the win. We’re just happy to get the three points today,” Aina told BBC Radio 5 Live.
“We’ve been working hard every week, and it’s showing on the pitch. To be up there with some of the biggest teams is a real credit to us. We’ll keep pushing and take it week by week.”
Aina also praised his teammate Wood for his consistent goal-scoring form, adding, “Everyone is doing their part to reach our goals. I’m happy to get an assist for Chris. He’s been on fire, and he just keeps scoring.”
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.”
