Rangers are reportedly looking to lure Joe Aribo to Ibrox.
Rangers are pushing for new signings, and they may have spotted a real bargain with Charlton Athletic midfielder Joe Aribo.
Steven Gerrard doesn’t have the biggest budget at his disposal, so finding out of contract talents – such as already-signed Jordan Jones and Jake Hastie – will be key.
Aribo, 22, fits that bill perfectly. His Charlton deal expires next month, and The Guardian report that Rangers are keen to lure the midfielder to Ibrox this summer, despite competition from other clubs.
The Daily Mail noted last week that Arsenal and Manchester City want Aribo when his deal ends, and whilst Charlton’s playoff final fate may impact his future, the mounting interest will be hard to ignore.
More clubs should be joining the race, and Tottenham Hotspur must be one of them, as Aribo is right on their doorstep in London, and available for an absolute bargain.
Aribo has hit 10 goals and five assists this season, showing his quality in League One, whilst he’s earned rave reviews for his technical ability as well as his athletic qualities, getting up and down the pitch well.
Tottenham need English players to ease their homegrown quota issues, and with midfielders needed, Aribo ticks the boxes. He’s even left-footed, and possesses that box-to-box quality that made Mousa Dembele so important to Mauricio Pochettino.
With big clubs keen, Tottenham could be missing a trick if they don’t make a move to keep Aribo in London, and they should absolutely plot a move to rival Rangers for his bargain signature.
