Super Eagles and Nottingham Forest versatile defender, Olaoluwa Temitayo Aina, was included in Troy Deeney's BBC Team of the Week after a brilliant outing against Brentford, Soccernet.ng reports.

The Nigerian is on Deeney's list for the second time this season after his inclusion a few weeks ago when he scored a stunner against West Ham United from outside the 18-yard box.

Deeney, who was famously known as a Watford striker before he hung his boots, took up punditry with BBC and is now tasked with picking the BBC Team of the Week.

In goal, Deeney opted for Bournemouth's Kepa Arrizabalaga who made a good number of saves to keep a clean sheet in his side's 3-0 win over Manchester United at Old Trafford.

Trent Alexander-Arnold nicks the right-back spot after he provided a brilliant assist for Luis Diaz in Liverpool's 6-3 win against Tottenham Hotspur. Trent is joined by Everton's James Tarkowski and Bournemouth's Dean Huijsen at the heart of the defence.

Ola Aina picks up the left-back position after scoring in Forest's 2-0 win over Brentford to put the Reds in 4th place on the English Premier League table.

“Another great win for Nottingham Forest, beating Brentford at their place. He looks solid defensively and is a great option going forward as well, as shown by his goal,” Deeney said about the Super Eagles defender.

Deeney's right-wing pick was Mohammed Salah. The Egyptian recorded a brace of goals and assists against Tottenham, and went one better to break Thierry Henry's long-standing goal contribution record in the English top-flight.

Luis Diaz scored two goals against Spurs on Sunday as a centre-forward but fits into Deeney's team on the left. Leading the line is Newcastle United's Aleksandar Isak, who scored a hat-trick in his side's 4-0 win against Ipswich Town.
