Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing the Nottingham Forest defender Ola Aina at the end of the season.
The 28-year-old has done quite well for Nottingham, and multiple clubs are keen on securing his signature at the end of the season. According to a report from CaughtOffside, Liverpool, Chelsea, and Newcastle are monitoring his situation as well.
The report claims that Tottenham will open talks with his representatives in the coming weeks regarding a summer move. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done. They could use more depth in the defensive unit, and the 28-year-old is versatile enough to operate on either flank.
The 28-year-old Nigerian is capable of operating as a right back, a left back, as well as a wing back. His versatility will be an added bonus for Tottenham if he can get the deal done. They have been linked with Fiorentina defender Dodo, who has a similar profile.
Can Nottingham keep Ola Aina?
Nottingham do not wish to let a player leave this summer, and they are preparing to offer him a new contract. It will be interesting to see if the Nigerian decides to commit his long-term future to the club. He is at the peak of his powers, and the opportunity to play for a bigger club could be exciting for him. Tottenham could provide him with the platform to fight for trophies.
Tottenham have been quite mediocre this season, but they have a quality squad. Under the right manager, they could be pushing for domestic trophies and European qualification. The former Chelsea defender could be attracted to the idea of joining them.
Tottenham already have Pedro Porro, Djed Spence and Destiny Udogie at their disposal. Aina will be expected to compete with them for the starting spot next season, if he joins the club.
