Nottingham Forest manager, Nuno Espirito Santo, is confident Ola Aina will sign a contract extension at the club.

Aina is into the final months of his contract with the Tricky Trees.

Forest have reportedly opened talks with the Nigerian over an extension.

“I think things are going well. I am a coach, I give my opinion, ” Santo said ahead of his side’s Premier League clash with Ipswich Town on Saturday.

“We love what Ola is doing. We love him as a player and as a person, but other people in the club handle those discussions.”

Aina joined Nottingham Forest on a free transfer in 2023.

The full-back signed a one-year contract extension this summer.
