O. Aina is a 29-year-old full-back at Nottingham Forest, rated 59.2 overall by Field Insider's model, ranking 296th of 418 in the Premier League. An experienced operator, he has been an ever-present this season (93% of available minutes). His defensive output reads 3.34 tackles, blocks and interceptions per 90. Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Aina.
Judged on this season alone, Aina graded 40 — a strong campaign that ranks top 27% of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League, on 4 clean sheets and 3.34 defensive actions per 90.
Year-on-year, that's a drop on last season (Season 49 → 40). Over the 6 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.
On long-term talent our Rating reads 59, 46th of 64 of the 64 full-backs in the Premier League. At 29 Aina is in his prime years, and a market index of 65.1 reflects that trajectory.
Read the appearance count in context: Aina missed 20 games through injury (hamstring, injury) out of roughly 38 this season. The 18 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
Below his 2024/25 peak but holding a solid level — the platform for a return is there.
3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90 — moderate defensive volume, with 4 clean sheets across 18 appearances. Doing that for a lower-table side (16th of 20) is harder than the bare numbers suggest: a back line under more pressure has to defend more often and protects fewer leads, so the volume — and any clean sheets — carry real weight.
With a Rating of 59.2, Aina carries the 46th-highest potential of the full-backs in the Premier League of 64, and he is posting that for a lower-table side (Nottingham Forest finished 16th of 20) — individual numbers are harder to earn on a struggling team, so his underlying level likely sits a touch above the ranking. Defensively he reads as moderate defensive volume (3.34 tackles, blocks & interceptions per 90). Experienced and reliable, but the value curve is easing (1.1× now → 0.8× projected in three years).

The gold line is market value — an index (not €) blending rating, age and league. It climbs through the early 20s, peaks around ages 23–27 (~118), then tapers with age. At 29, Aina sits on 65.1, past its peak and easing. The blue line is Aina's projected Rating — 59.2 today — recomputed at each age, so it follows the same rise-and-fall as a career matures and declines. Solid = up to today; dashed = projected.
