Glasgow Rangers Star Joe Aribo Vows To Stick With Nigeria, Reveals Best Position

Published: September 10, 2019

Glasgow Rangers' Joe Aribo has vowed to continue wearing the colours of Nigeria even though he is eligible to play for his country of birth, England for the time being.

The former Charlton Athletic star is poised to make his international debut against Ukraine on Tuesday evening but playing in the game at the Dnipro Arena does not cap-tie him to the three-time African champions.

In a YouTube video uploaded by the Super Eagles Media team, Aribo said : ''I am Joseph Aribo, I am from Ondo State. I play for Glasgow Rangers.

''I am really happy to have got this call-up to Nigeria and I just want to make the most of it and play as long as possible and just do what I can for the team and make sure that we continue being the best that we can be.''

Aribo has described himself as a midfielder with offensive and defensive qualities.

''I am a central midfielder and I like to get in and around the box. I can defend and I can attack,'' he concluded.

Aribo, who has hit the back of the net four times in the new season, shares the same agent as Alex Iwobi, Ola Aina and Josh Maja.
