- LISTEN NOW: It’s all starting! Are Tottenham managers treated differently to other managers?
Nottingham Forest full-back Ola Aina has named who he believes is the best player in the Premier League.
High-flying Nottingham Forest regular Aina was questioned during a guest appearance on the football podcast. Disgusting boys.
The former Chelsea youth team star, 28, did not hesitate to state who he believes is the most consistent footballer in the top flight.
Members of the Filthy Fellas panel wanted Aina to say Mohamed Salah, but she opted for another attacker.
When asked who he thinks is the best player in the Premier League, Aina replied: “He does it every game, every game.”
‘Yes, Saka.’

The defender did not choose Mohamed Salah despite his good form with Liverpool this season
When asked to give her opinion on Salah, Aina adds: “Mo Salah is up there.”
Saka has scored five goals in the Premier League and provided 10 assists so far this season, while Salah has 15 goals and 11 assists in the top flight.
The Arsenal attacker faces a long stay on the sidelines after suffering a hamstring injury during his team’s 5-1 win over Crystal Palace.
Mikel Arteta has said Saka will be out of action for “many weeks” and there are fears the England star could be out until March.
Arsenal doctors are reluctant to set a timetable for Saka’s return given his history of rapid recovery from injuries.
“It doesn’t look good,” Arteta said. He will be out for many weeks. I can’t be very specific because I don’t know, but it will be many weeks.

‘It’s a huge (blow). He’s obviously a great player for us.
“I was gutted. You can tell he hasn’t hurt himself much because he was very, very emotional and very depressed.
‘We need to lift it. It’s a big part of his job. It will be fine but it will take a few days. You will quickly realize how important it is in that locker room.
“His energy level, his body language and the way he communicates with the rest of the team has to be really good because that’s the only way he can help right now.”
Aina himself has scored two goals in 17 appearances for Nottingham Forest as Nuno Espirito Santo’s side look to fight for a European spot.
Forest, in fourth place, host Tottenham on Boxing Day.
