Could we be seeing a linkup between Ola Aina and Ahmed Musa soon? Super Eagles sensation Ola Aina has been linked with a sensational move to Manchester City, but the Super Eagles defender has hinted that he’s also open to a switch to Kano Pillars. PAY ATTENTION: Stay updated with the Latest Soccer News in Nigeria from Pulse Sports The Nottingham Forest star made the lighthearted remark while discussing hypothetical club choices, name-dropping the NPFL giants. Aina’s Kano Pillars comment sparks reactions While appearing on The Appointment Show, Aina was asked which club he would choose if given the opportunity. Initially dodging the question, he eventually responded with a mischievous grin, “Do you know Kano Pillars?” The statement, clearly made in jest, has nonetheless caused reactions from fans in Nigeria, who would love to see a player of his calibre grace the NPFL. Despite the humour in his remark, Aina remains one of the most sought-after right-backs in England, and a move to Kano Pillars is obviously far from reality, especially with clubs like Manchester City reportedly monitoring his situation. Aina reportedly being monitored by Manchester City While a switch to Kano Pillars is nothing more than a joke, the possibility of Aina joining Manchester City has sparked serious excitement among Nigerian football fans. Former Super Eagles captain Joseph Yobo has even backed the move, calling it a "masterstroke" for both Aina and Pep Guardiola’s side. Yobo believes Aina is among the top three right-backs in the Premier League and would thrive in Guardiola’s tactical system, thanks to his defensive strength and attacking ability. With Aina’s contract at Nottingham Forest set to expire in the summer, he could be one of the most in-demand free agents on the market and if Manchester City do make a move, it could elevate Nigerian football on the global stage.
