Aston Villa are not considering a move for Joe Aribo despite a route clearing for the Nigerian, according to fresh reports down south.
The attacking midfielder was one of Rangers ' top performers last season but he's one of a number of Ibrox stars being linked with an exit this summer. Along with Alfredo Morelos, he's out of contract in 12 months, and it's been heavily mooted that Gers could sell now to mitigate the risk of losing him for free.
Gio van Bronckhorst will be reluctant to lose him unless a major offer arrives for the 25-year-old but their resolve is expected to be tested at some stage. Among his potential suitors in England, Crystal Palace are interested, while Nottingham Forest are believed to be keen, while Villa have been credited with keeping tabs on him ahead of a potential reunion with Steven Gerrard.
