Nigeria international midfielder Joe Aribo is few details away from completing a switch to English Premier League side Southampton for a fee reported to be in the region of £10m.
Aribo was signed from English Championship side Charlton Athletic for around £300,000 three years ago and he has since turned out to be a bargain buy for the Gers, who were beaten finalist in last season Europa League.
With one year left to run on his deal, he turned down a contract extension and in order to lose him for free next season, Rangers decided to cash in on the Nigerian.
Despite what looks like a significant profit base on the amount he was sold, former Nigeria international Efe Ambrose believe his price tag isn’t reflective of his current status.
” I heard he is going for £10m, that’s cheap if true. Very cheap and I think Rangers miss a trick with him. He is worth much more than that in my opinion. That’s a £30m player getting sold for £10m. Southampton will be shocked to see his quality because it’s much more than his price tag”, he told OwnGoalNigeria.com in an exclusive conversation on Aribo’s planned move to Southampton.
