Joe Aribo admits he even surprised himself with his dazzling Southampton wonder goal. The former Rangers star went viral over the weekend with a trademark solo run and finish in his new side's friendly clash with Villarreal.
Aribo 's quick feet, ability to ride challenges and knack for retaining possession against the odds came as no surprise to those who watched him at Ibrox over the past three years. But his weekend exploits have drawn more eyes south of the border ahead of the new Premier League season, with the 25-year-old now set to make his competitive bow away at Tottenham this weekend.
The goal will certainly have set tongues wagging in the Southampton dressing room but a modest Aribo confessed to his team-mates how he pulled off the final touch with his weaker right foot before finishing. He told the BBC: "Yeah, I said to the boys inside, I don't know where I pulled the right foot chop from! But yeah, I'm really happy with it. Hopefully I can keep pushing on and do more for the team in games to come."
