Joe Aribo can bounce back from a frustrating first season at Southampton, according to Saints legend Matt Le Tissier.
The Nigeria midfielder left Rangers on a high after winning the Premier League, and scoring in the Europa League final against Frankfurt. Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl shelled out £6m to take the player back to England, but he failed to set the heather on fire in his debut season.
Now, though, with Saints in the Championship after being relegated, Le Tissier - who spent his entire 16-year career at the Hampshire club - reckons Aribo can shine in the second tier. He said: “I still watch Southampton a lot and I was excited when I heard the club had signed Aribo from Rangers. He had enjoyed a lot of good times at Ibrox as Rangers won the Premier League and Scottish Cup. He then scored in the European final in Seville as Rangers came within a whisker of landing another European trophy.
