Ola Aina is Nottingham Forest’s Silver Wall. A two-time Premier League winner with a decorated pedigree from his time at Chelsea, Aina has transitioned from a young prospect into an established top-flight defender with eight career trophies to his name.
Operating as a primary defensive block, Aina has registered 9 appearances and nearly 800 minutes this season. His performance is currently on an upward trajectory, with a form rating of 65 significantly outperforming his base season ability. This hot streak is defined by his INTERCEPTOR badge, averaging 1.8 interceptions per 90 minutes. While his Workrate score of 59 anchors his physical presence on the pitch, he occasionally slips into the GHOST profile during low-possession phases. An Intensity score of 59 reflects his relentless pressing game and physical commitment in the defensive third.
With a stable market value of €22M, Aina’s importance to the club's defensive structure is reflected in his consistent selection. As he enters his prime years, his ability to maintain this level of defensive stability will be crucial for Forest’s aspirations in the Premier League.
