Joe Aribo breaks silence on Southampton exile as ex-Rangers star reveals reason for EPL cold storage

Joe Aribo admits he's not 'too fazed' by being in exile at Southampton and insists his time will come on the south coast.

The former Rangers midfielder, who was a key player in his three-plus years at Ibrox, made the move to the English Premier League in the summer with one of his last actions in light blue being a goal in the Europa League final that Gio Van Bronckhorst's men lost on penalties. Aribo logged 70 games that season for club and country Nigeria but has since fell by the wayside.

A package worth £10m to the Glasgow side was agreed but Aribo found long-term boss Ralph Hassenhuttl sacked just a few months in to his arrival before flop replacement Nathan Jones barely used the 26-year-old. Aribo has managed just 37 minutes of Premier League action in 2023 but believes he can break out of the rut.
