Should he sign for Saints, he would join Gavin Bazunu, Mateusz Lis and Armel Bella-Kotchap in the Southampton squad after their summer arrivals, while 18-year-old Manchester City midfielder Romeo Lavia is also expected to complete a move to the south coast shortly. But now, it is expected that Aribo will leave Ibrox this summer to head to the Premier League, with Saints understood to be confident of sealing a deal to sign him, despite reported interest from Crystal Palace, Fulham and Nottingham Forest.

But instead of a move to the Premier League, he opted to sign for Rangers, where he has since gone on to make 149 appearances, scoring 26 goals.

That’s because it is very rare you get a move from Rangers to the Premier League, and I don’t mean any disrespect by that. Right-back and centre-back were the only ones missing for a player who, at 16, was viewed as a left-sided centre-back. “For a player of his talent, he could and should have scored more goals throughout this period, but when he did score they tended to be quite spectacular.” It’s the least his form and all those special, ridiculous moments, deserve. In no way is that designed to talk the player down. He could and should have dominated more games. He could and should have scored more goals. Goals of such beauty they deserved to be beamed across the world but missed chances so ghastly they belonged under a bridge. The touch was perfect to allow him to stay ahead of John Souttar before firing across Gordon and into the corner. “When he does that, he’s a joy to watch. He could be so easy on the eye one moment then ungainly the next. It needed someone on the other end.

Aribo's fee isn't quite what Rangers had in mind, while an announcement over a Man City arrival is imminent.
