‘I’m Too Old for Arsenal’ – Aina Jokes, Aims for Five Goals Next Season — 1 of 3
1 / 3

Nottingham Forest and Super Eagles full-back Ola Aina laughed off a question about joining Arsenal during Wimbledon, saying he feels “too old” for the Gunners. Instead of discussing transfers, the 29-year-old is setting personal targets for 2026/27. He admitted frustration over a goalless 2025/26 season and has challenged himself to score five goals next term. Last season, Aina featured in 28 games across all competitions and recorded an assist in Forest’s Europa League tie against Fenerbahce.

It's odd he dismisses Arsenal interest as an age thing when many players peak around 29 or 30.

But does he really believe age is the only factor, or is there another motive we're missing?

I'm not convinced age alone dictates performance; players often improve well into their thirties.

He could track key stats like goals, clean sheets, and assists to measure progress towards his five-goal target.
