English Premier League side, Southampton has completed the signing of Super Eagles international, Joe Aribo on a four year deal with potential raise on his £10m transfer fee.
Aribo will join Ralph Hassenhuttl’s side ahead as the club’s fifth summer arrival from Rangers as he joins Ndidi, Iheanacho, Adarabioyo in the EPL.
Southampton have added a versatile player to their squad in Aribo who played in central midfield, attacking midfield, down the right and ended the season up front due to injuries elsewhere in Giovanni Van Bronckhorst’s Rangers squad.
And also a talented and robust one. Aribo moves to Southampton following an impressive season in which he was one of Rangers’ most used players, making 57 appearances, scoring nine times – including in the Europa League final against Eintracht Frankfurt – and set up 10 more.
Aribo said: ‘It’s an amazing club with a lot of history here, and it’s a good plan with what’s to come next. I’m really excited for the journey.
”The Premier League is the best league in the world. I’ve been watching it since I was a young boy, it’s always been a goal for me to play here and show what I can do on this stage.”
”It’s an amazing feeling, a dream come true. This is where I’ve wanted to be since I was a child growing up playing, so to say that I’m here now is really exciting.”
Southampton will pay an initial £6m for Aribo with further add-ons included in the deal.
