Rangers are reportedly willing to cash in on midfielder, Joe Aribo, if a fee of £10million is tabled for the Nigeria international.
Aribo, 25, has arguably been one of Steven Gerrard’s best signings north of the border – during the Villa gaffer’s time at Rangers. Alongside Glen Kamara, Connor Goldson and others – Aribo sparkled, after joining Rangers.
Costing a bargain compensation fee from Charlton, Aribo has clocked up 126 outings since July 2019 – having a hand in 44 goals from midfield. Said form has also made him a Nigeria international, winning 12 caps.
But that form, as is normally the way, is attracting Premier League interest. Patrick Vieira is keen on bringing Aribo to Palace with Rangers requesting a fee of £10million for the midfielder, according to The Sun.
In January, Leeds were desperate to bring attacking midfielder Brenden Aaronson to Elland Road. However, Salzburg rejected a move and keen to keep him until the summer at least. It leaves Leeds light in midfield.
Bids of £20million were tabled, so it is likely that the USA star might end up costing £25million or more. If Leeds want a player of similar quality, similar attacking output – though slightly older at 25, Aribo would be ideal.
At £10million, the Rangers star would save Leeds a heap of cash. Indeed, he is a player that ex-Leeds boss and former Rangers assistant Gary McAllister branded “very talented” in 2020. It is surely, a no-brainer for the Whites.
