EPL: Ola Aina has what Guardiola likes – Yobo

Former Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo, has backed Ola Aina to make a potential move for Nottingham Forest to Manchester City.

According to Yobo, Aina has the qualities that City manager Pep Guardiola likes in his defender.

Speaking to Africafoot, he hailed Aina as one of the best right-backs in the Premier League this season.

“Aina is currently one of the top three right-backs in the Premier League, and joining Manchester City wouldn’t surprise me at all,” Yobo said.

“It would be a masterstroke for both the player and Manchester City.

“He’s an imposing defender but also an excellent attacker, something Guardiola looks for in his full-backs.”

Aina was in action last weekend, as Forest thrashed Southampton 4-1, a result that keeps them third ahead of fifth-placed City.
