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.
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.
In midfield, Liverpool’s Dominik Szoboszlai joins Wolves Matheus Cunha and Arsenal’s Thomas Partey, as each player were involved in their side’s win over the weekend.
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.
