Super Eagles defender Ola Aina has revealed that despite leaving Chelsea nearly six years ago, he still enjoys watching a current star from the club, BSNSports.com.ng has sourced on Chelsea Chronicles.

Aina, now 28, has had an interesting career since coming through the Chelsea academy.

The talented right-back, who has earned 40 international caps for Nigeria, was sold by Chelsea in 2019 after making only six first-team appearances.

In 2023, Aina joined Nottingham Forest, where he is currently playing some of the best football of his career.

He has become a key player for Forest as they compete for Champions League qualification this season.

There have been reports suggesting that Chelsea may be interested in re-signing Aina, but Nottingham Forest is working on negotiating a new deal to keep him at the City Ground beyond the summer.

Aina mentioned that he enjoys watching Chelsea talisman Cole Palmer, 22, as one of his favourite players.

When asked which players he likes to watch, Aina told ESPN: “Cole Palmer. Ademola [Lookman] is up there. I have to mention my boy [Alex] Iwobi—he’s having a fantastic season."
