Super Eagles defender, Ola Aina is set to have his contract at Nottingham Forest extended as he returns to training this week after coming back injured from the Africa Cup of Nations.

The club is also considering a new deal for Willy Boly. There is an option to buy Arsenal loanee Nuno Tavares.

 

Forest trimmed the squad further in January and also lowered the average age. The plan this summer would be a similar strategy and a net-zero spend.

 

Their financial position will be ultimately decided by the final nine games, as they bid to avoid relegation.

 

Nuno Espírito Santo’s team face Crystal Palace on Saturday week with striker Chris Wood expected to be fit.

 

Aina’s countrymate Taiwo Awoniyi will be missing for a few weeks with an injury linked to his recent groin operation but initial fears that he could be out for the season have been allayed.

 

Forest have already been docked points for breaching the Premier League’s Profitability and Sustainability Rules.
