England football legend, Michael Owen has included Super Eagles defender, Ola Aina in his Team of the Year for Optus Sport.
Nottingham Forest has had a fantastic campaign in the Premier League during the 2024/25 season. With just one game remaining, there is still much at stake.
The Reds could secure a spot in next season’s Champions League if they defeat Chelsea at the City Ground on Sunday afternoon. Nottingham Forest is guaranteed European football next season, with all three competitions still within reach for the club ahead of the final match.
As the season comes to a close, pundits are starting to select their awards for the campaign. Gary Neville praised Nikola Milenkovic on Monday Night Football earlier this week and shared his picks for the Team of the Year with Optus Sport.
In Owen’s selection, three players were included: Matz Sels, Ola Aina, and Chris Wood. Milenkovic and Murillo were named as substitutes. However, Owen sparked controversy by excluding Morgan Gibbs-White from his Team of the Year while opting for a 4-3-3 formation.
