Charlton Athletic Boss Confirms Two Premier League Clubs, Rangers Want Aribo
Published: June 23, 2019Charlton Athletic boss Lee Bowyer has confirmed that two unnamed Premier League clubs are interested in signing Nigerian midfielder Joe Aribo but face competition from Rangers in Scotland as well as French and German clubs.
Aribo has one week remaining on his contract with The Addicks and it is all but confirmed that he will move onto pastures new in the summer transfer window.
Arsenal, Manchester City and Southampton are reportedly monitoring the situation of the 22-year-old.
''There are Premier League clubs interested, I spoke to two yesterday,'' Bowyer told talkSPORT, according to the Scottish Sun.
''Obviously in Scotland you’ve got Rangers that are interested and there are clubs in France and Germany.
''We’ve got competition to fight against.
''Joe loves it at Charlton. But if Premier League clubs come in, financially and from the point of view of playing against the world’s top players every week, it’s tough for a kid to turn down.
''Everyone wants to play at the top. I’ve been in the game so I understand.
''I’d love to keep him but I think it’s gonna be difficult.''
