Aina has been instrumental in his team’s success this season, leading the Premier League with 92 possessions won in the defensive third and contributing three goals.
His recent performance was particularly impressive during a thrilling 7-0 victory against Brighton and Hove Albion, where he played the full match and helped secure a clean sheet.
This win was especially gratifying for Aina as he faced Simon Adingra, who had previously troubled him during Nigeria’s AFCON 2023 final loss to Côte d’Ivoire last year.
The big win against the Seagulls was particularly impressive given that the previous weekend the Reds were at the receiving end of a 5-0 thrashing against another high-flying side in Bournemouth.
