For his match-winning performance against Udinese, Aina was rewarded with a place on the Team of the Week.


               
           
               
                   

Aina who was deployed at wingback in the encounter was included in a midfield role alongside AC Milan duo Lucas Paquetá, Franck Kessié and AS Roma’s Stephan El Shaarawy.


               
           
               
                   

Aina was sensational in the matchday 23 encounter against compatriot William Troost-Ekong at the Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino.
