“It is good to dream”

Soccer

Super Eagles defender Ola Aina has expressed optimism over Nottingham Forest’s chances of securing a good finish in the Premier League at the end of the season, Soccernet.ng reports.

Forest have experienced a significant transformation in the last few months. The club has grown from fighting relegation last season to contending for a place in the top four.

The Tricky Trees have picked nine wins, four draws, and four assists from 17 Premier League games. On Saturday, they put up a superb performance to defeat Brentford 2-0 at the Brentford Community Stadium.

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. This season, he has scored two goals, 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.
