Super Eagles star to reject new Rangers deal amid interest from Watford, Brentford, Palace

Published: December 07, 2021

Scottish Premiership champions Glasgow Rangers should start preparing for life without their influential midfielder Joe Aribo.

Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that the leadership of the Light Blues has opened preliminary talks with Aribo and his representatives over a contract extension.

The Nigeria international will enter the last eighteen months of his contract in January and Rangers are keen to offer him improved terms.

Initial talks on a contract renewal were not productive at all, with the player making it clear that he is not interested in extending his stay beyond the end of next season.

The Daily Mail reported exactly a week ago that Brentford, Watford and Crystal Palace are targeting Aribo and this website can confirm that the three Premier League clubs are genuinely interested in his signature.

The 25-year-old has made a splash since arriving at Rangers from Charlton Athletic in the summer of 2019, scoring 22 goals and setting up 19 others in 118 appearances across all competitions.

The list of his suitors is destined to increase given that he is expected to star for Nigeria at the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations.
