Reigning Premier League champions Manchester City, who have experienced a dip in form this season, are reportedly considering a replacement for their veteran defender Kyle Walker.
The leading candidate for this role is said to be Nigerian right-back Ola Aina, who currently plays for Nottingham Forest.
Manchester City have won only 9 of their 19 games this season and have conceded 26 goals.
Struggling defensively, they are the team with the most goals conceded among the top eight in the league. Reports suggest that Guardiola is planning to revamp his squad during the January transfer window, and Ola Aina appears to be a key part of this restructuring.
Despite having played more matches than their rivals, Nottingham Forest currently sit second in the Premier League standings and continue their impressive form. Ola Aina has been instrumental in their defensive success and has also contributed with two goals this season.
However, Nottingham Forest may be reluctant to part ways with Aina due to his growing impact on the team.
For Aina, a move to Manchester City could be a significant step forward in his career, offering him the chance to play for one of the world’s biggest clubs.
