'It's a dream' - Chelsea product hungry to win first title with Nigeria at AFCON 2021

The former England U19 skipper was a key member of the Super Eagles team that finished third at the last AFCON, starting five matches including the third place playoff versus Tunisia.

And the versatile fullback is also making a name for himself in Cameroon by helping the Super Eagles register convincing wins against Egypt and Sudan in the group stage.

Aina won almost everything you can dream of wining during his time with the Chelsea Academy - U21 Premier League, FA Youth Cup and UEFA Youth League - and the right back is now eyeing his first international glory at senior level with the Super Eagles.

The Torino star was rested for the last game against Guinea-Bissau as he was walking a disciplinary tightrope after receiving a yellow card vs Sudan but it is a foregone conclusion that he will make a return to the matchday 23 in the battle of the Eagles.

Speaking to  NFF TV, Aina stated : "It's a dream, I'd love to win something with Nigeria. I am sure everybody else in the team feels this way but like the coaches said we have to take this game by game.

"Let's not get ahead of ourselves. We take every game as it comes."
