Manchester City, reigning champions of the English Premier League, might be eyeing Ola Aina as a potential successor to Kyle Walker, according to reports.
With Walker now 34 and nearing the twilight of his career, City is on the hunt for a reliable replacement to strengthen their defense for the long term.
Ola Aina has been turning heads this season at Nottingham Forest. The versatile 27-year-old defender, capable of playing both right-back and left-back, has made a solid impression with two goals in 19 league appearances. A former Chelsea academy talent, Aina’s current deal with Forest has just six months remaining, making him a viable target.
Meanwhile, over at Manchester United, the focus is on bolstering the squad under manager Ruben Amorim during the January transfer window. One name on their radar is Andreas Christensen, the ex-Chelsea defender currently with FC Barcelona.
Despite struggling with fitness since joining Barca in 2022, Christensen has made 75 appearances, contributing significantly in his first season with over 30 matches. Now back in training, the 28-year-old is eager to reignite his career.
Reports suggest United, along with several Serie A clubs, are keeping a close watch on Christensen, undeterred by his injury history, as they prepare for a busy January window.
