Na wah o! Wetin we dey hear for dem transfer markets as Everton don show interest for Nottingham Forest defender, Ola Aina. Wetin make dem dey look Aina be say their right-back position don dey shakky, especially since Seamus Coleman dey old and injury purnatives dey follow him about like shadow.
Everton manager, David Moyes, no get choice but to find solution as Coleman don only fit start one match this season. Plus, Nathan Patterson wey dem don dey eye as Coleman replacement dey suffer im own injury wahala too. Na so Moyes dey dey search everywhere wey get right-back options, as dem don compile one long list wey Aina dey inside.
But e no easy o, because Moyes dey have some doubts about Aina wey just come back after long injury period. Before Aina fit play against Aston Villa for January 3, him don dey sidelined since September 2025 after he tear hamstring while he dey on national duty with Nigeria.
Aina wey join Forest from Torino 2023, still dey under contract for City Ground till summer 2028. The guy dey play under Sean Dyche wey na former Everton boss, as Dyche don replace Ange Postecoglou last October. Aina miss the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations due to im injury, but he don come back, dey play well again.
But wait, na wetin happen to Aina fit cause Moyes second-guess am; him no wan make Aina knack another injury come again. He don start only five matches this season, so fit dey risk-based decision if he go make move for am when plenty other players dey inside the radar, like Ben White, Emil Holm, and Vanderson too.
Na everybody dey feel the heat for Everton becos right-back na area wey dey need restructure quick-quick, especially as O’Brien dey try him best but e no dey deliver like proper right-back. As fans dey watch the game, dem dey see say Aina go fit bring pace and power wey dem need for that flank, as last season him dey run up to 35.82 km/h, join the likes of Anthony Elanga and Jeremie Frimpong for speed.
Moyes dey consider all these factors before he go decide wetin fit happen with Aina. If Aina fit link up with Iliman Ndiaye for Everton, dem go form a formidable partnership wey fit help the team get better results. Na that yankee football dem dey play, and every little thing dey matter for the squad.
So, my people, make we keep our ears on the ground as transfer window dey hot! Wetin go happen next? We go follow up as dem dey happen.
