Speaking on The Beautiful Game Podcast, Rangers’ Leon Balogun has been full of praise for Joe Aribo, claiming that he has a big future
The 25-year-old has been shining for Rangers for the past couple of years, and Balogun believes there is more to come from his teammate.
What’s been said?
Balogun was asked about Aribo, and he had nothing but good things to say about the midfielder.
“I know you like to say ‘baller fam’, but he’s a baller, he’s a joy to watch. His technique, his finesse, he’s just smooth bro. Seriously, he’s so good. Good finishing, good passing, one vs one he’s so good man, disgusting. I face him in training sometimes, he definitely had me on skates, I remember one time he megged me and went past and I just raised my legs.”
“Joe he’s quality seriously, as well with the Super Eagles, he’ll have a big future. Recently he’s played as a six, but he could play more in our system as a 10. In that Brazil game, I think that was his first game, baller.”
Top player
Balogun certainly isn’t wrong about Aribo, he’s a top player.
The Nigerian has been proving himself in the SPFL, and as Balogun says, it’s surely only a matter of time before everyone begins to notice him on the international stage.
Aribo may be 25, but you still have to feel that there’s a lot more to come from him, and as Balogun says, he will have a big future.
Rangers fans can certainly rest easy knowing they have a player as talented as Aribo in their squad.
