Liverpool want 28-year-old PL star to replace key man, Newcastle & Tottenham keen as well | OneFootball

Liverpool defender Trent Alexander-Arnold is expected to leave the club at the end of the season, and the Reds want Ola Aina from Nottingham Forest to replace him.

The 28-year-old has done quite well for Nottingham, and his performances have attracted the attention of Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur as well. According to Fichajes, Liverpool are hoping to sign the 28-year-old as a replacement for their star defender.

Aina has shown his quality in the Premier League consistently, and there is no doubt that he deserves to play for a bigger club. The opportunity to move to Liverpool will be quite exciting for him.

The defender is at the peak of his powers, and he will look to fight for major trophies. Liverpool can provide him with that opportunity. They have been fighting for the league title and the Champions League consistently, and they will be an attractive destination for most players.

Aina is capable of operating as a right back as well as a left back. His versatility will be a bonus for Liverpool if they can get the deal done. Aina has been linked with the return to Chelsea as well.

Meanwhile, Newcastle could use defensive depth as well, and the 28-year-old would be a quality addition for them. They are pushing for Champions League qualification, and it will be interesting to see if they can convince the defender to join them in the summer.

As far as Tottenham are concerned, they are well stocked in the right back department, but they could use more depth in the left back slot. Aina could compete with Destiny Udogie for the starting spot. The competition for places could help the team improve.

It will be interesting to see where the 28-year-old defender ends up. He will want to join an ambitious club where he will get regular game time.
