‘You got to be careful’ - Ex-Chelsea coach slams Super Eagles star Ola Aina for unprofessionalism

Former Chelsea youth coach Jody Morris has advised Ola Aina, the full-back for the Super Eagles and Nottingham Forest, to be careful when celebrating after the game.

A few weeks ago, Forest defeated West Ham 3-0 at City Ground as they continued their impressive start to the season.

The Super Eagles star scored a stunner from outside the box during the game as his team cruised to a victory.

The Nigerian international celebrated with his teammates in the dressing room following an exuberant display. 

Morris warns Aina

Speaking on Rio Ferdinand Presents, Morris acknowledged Aina's skill but cautioned about the dangers of saying things.

He said, "I know Ola, was a great kid, and he's a personality as well, but when you talk about sending teams back to where they come from is where you got to be careful. There's a little line there you can't cross.

"I don't think you ever want to limit people's personality because that's what they are. Physically, he's an absolute specimen, he can play with his right and left foot. 

"He's a lovely footballer and he can probably impose himself on games a little bit better, especially with what he has in his locker. 

"It's always nice to see people you've had an affinity or relationships with do well, I'm happy to see him do well."

Later, a video of Aina laughingly declaring that Forest had sent the Hammers back to their rightful place in East London came to light.

Having played in all 11 Premier League games this season, Aina has been a key part of Nottingham Forest's success and helped the team climb to fifth place.

Aina was also instrumental for Nigeria in their recent 1-1 draw with Benin in Abidjan, which guaranteed the Super Eagles' spot in the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
