Southampton new signing Joe Aribo is one of the finest midfield talents from Africa, says Nigerian legend and former Super Eagles coach Austin Eguavoen.

BSNSports.com.ng sourced from a post shared by Eguavoen on social networking site Twitter, days after the unveiling of the Nigerian who joined the Saints from Rangers on £6m plus add ons to a potential £10m package.

"Congratulations Joe Ayodele-Aribo on your move to Southampton. Your work ethic, love and passion for the game is clear for all to see. One of the finest midfield talents from Africa at the moment. I wish you the very best in the South Coast. Go and Conquer, Aribo," Eguavoen's tweet read.

Aribo, 25-year-old joined Rangers in 2019 from Charlton Athletics for £300,000, has since joined his new teammates at Staplewood Campus as pre-season training steps up ahead of this week's trip to Austria.
