Rangers confirm signing of Charlton's Joe Aribo | OneFootball

Rangers have confirmed the signing of Joe Aribo from Charlton on a four-year deal.

Aribo impressed for the Addicks in League One last term and had offers from several Championship sides.

But it’s been revealed by the Gers that the 22-year-old has opted to move north and team up with Steven Gerrard’s side.

“There were a lot of clubs in for Joe around Europe, in the Premier League and the Championship. There was a lot of interest in him but for me it’s just another top player joining Rangers,” Gerrard told their official website.

“He’s mobile, dynamic, can burst past a player and create and score goals. There is room for him to develop but he’ll give us something we’ve not got in the midfield department.

“He’s left footed, which is something we don’t have in our midfield at the moment so he’ll give us more balance. We have a good midfield but currently we don’t have a player with Joe’s characteristics.

“He is tall, athletic and quick. He’s a box-to-box player and is not afraid to open the door when he gets around the box and he can unlock defences.

“We’re confident we can turn Joe into an even better player and I’m really looking forward to working with him.

“He’s still young and we firmly believe there is a lot to come from him, but we need to be patient in order to allow him to continue his development and to improve as a player with the club.”
