Leicester City have announced the signing of Joe Aribo on loan, strengthening their squad as they push forward in the season.
According to Sky Sports on Monday, the Nigerian international joins the Foxes on a temporary deal, with the club confirming the move on Monday.
Aribo brings valuable Premier League and Championship experience, having previously featured for clubs including Southampton and Rangers.
The 29-year-old Nigeria international arrives at King Power Stadium having made 111 appearances for the Saints across four seasons in the Premier League and Sky Bet Championship.
Speaking to Foxes Hub, he said: “For me, it’s amazing to have got it done and I just can’t wait to get going. I’ve always known the squad is good. I’m so certain [about] where we can get to and what we can do together. It’s just good to be a part of it.”
Born in Camberwell, England, Aribo began his career with Staines Town in 2014, competing regularly in the Isthmian League before making a move to Charlton Athletic in the summer of 2015.
Aribo became a regular fixture for the Addicks after breaking into the side in the 2016/17 campaign, with those performances eventually leading to a move to Scottish Premiership side Rangers, where he made a total of 149 appearances across all competitions, scoring 26 goals.
