Southampton star Joe Aribo has admitted his decision to leave Rangers this summer "hasn’t actually sunk in yet" after he completed a dream move to the English Premier League.
The Nigeria international was a hit for the the Ibrox side after joining in 2019 for a cross-border compensation fee of just £300,000 from Charlton Athletic. He won the Scottish Premiership, Scottish Cup and helped the club reach the Europa League final last season when he scored against Eintracht Frankfurt before losing to the German side in a penalty shoot-out in Seville.
The 25-year-old was approaching the final year of his Ibrox, which contained a £10 million buy-out clause, when Southampton won the race for his signature amidst interest from Crystal Palace, Fulham and Nottingham Forest. Aribo has spoken in depth on his decision to leave Rangers, admitting it was his childhood aspiration to play in the English top flight during a heartfelt look back at his time in Govan.
