Super Eagles defender Ola Aina is on Manchester City’s wishlist as they cast a net for Kyle Walker’s long-term replacement.
Nigerian international Aina, 28, has been a stand-out Premier League ever-present in Nottingham Forest’s stellar season.
Forest snapped him up on a free when he was released by Italian side Torino last year.
They are keen to tie him down quickly as his contract runs out at the end of this season.
The full-back, a product of Chelsea’s academy, has not been angling for a move and is hugely popular with City Ground fans.
But the Southwark-born star would find it hard to ignore interest from City.
And his ability to play on either flank suits Guardiola.
Walker has been a City mainstay for seven years but at 34 has finally shown signs of his age this term.
