As it stands, challenging for the Premier League may be a bit difficult for Nottingham Forest. However, Super Eagles star Ola Aina, who has been one of the top performers this season, believes that his side can punch above their weight.
“You don’t know, but it’s really good work what we’re doing. We are just focusing on ourselves, and taking it game by game,” Aina told the BBC.
“But it is good to dream a little bit. As long as we work hard and just keep our heads and not get too carried away, I’m sure things will be fantastic, come May.”
Aina is currently having the campaign of his life. He has scored two goals already this season, his joint-highest in a single league campaign. He will look to continue his performances and help Nottingham Forest secure a top finish in the Premier League.
