Southampton has confirmed the signing of Nigeria international Joe Aribo from Scottish Premiership side Rangers. The midfielder was snapped up by the Saints on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee which means he will remain at the St Mary’s Stadium until 2026.
“Southampton Football Club is delighted to announce the signing of Joe Aribo from Rangers on a four-year deal,” a statement from the club website reads “Aribo helped the Glasgow giants capture their first Scottish Premiership title in 10 years, also lifting the Scottish Cup, and was a runner-up in last season’s UEFA Europa League in which he scored in the final.”
In his first interview with the club, the Super Eagle described his move to England as a ‘dream come true’ while labeling the English elite division as the best in the world. “It’s an amazing club with a lot of history here, and it’s a good plan for what’s to come next. I’m excited for the journey,” Aribo told the Southampton website.
“The Premier League is the best 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.”
