'It is good to dream' - Aina eyes Champions League spot under Glasner

[Getty Images] Nottingham Forest's Ola Aina says he has "dusted off the cobwebs" for wing-back favouring head coach Oliver Glasner and believes that the club can "dream big" again this season. The 29-year-old right-back is looking forward to "cracking on" with the season after a hamstring tear, sustained in September 2025, hampered his playing time in 2025-26. "It has been hard work but it has been good," Aina told BBC East Midlands' Charlie Slater when asked about life under Glasner. "Everyone is buying into his ideas and his philosophy. It is really exciting for all of us boys. "He is a winner. He has shown what he can do over the past few seasons with Crystal Palace , with the right backing and with time, so hopefully he can do that here as well. "We have to dream big - why can't we? We have everything that a team needs to be successful, so it is down to us to hit the ground running, put the hard work in, stay together and be locked in. "Why not push for a Champions League finish? It is good to dream." On Glasner's playing style heavily relying on wing-backs, the full-back replied: "I used to play as a wing-back in Italy, so it has been a few years! "I told him to give me a few weeks to just dust off the cobwebs and get the engines going again. "As a full-back, you can pick and choose the right times to go. As a wing-back, you have to go every time because you need to be that support in attack but also get back to help your centre-backs at times. It is a balance. "I'm wishing for more goals in my game. I hope I get some little tap-ins here and there this season. I don't mind how many - a goal is a goal. I haven't got a celebration picked out just yet, but I'm sure I can think of one."
