Super Eagles and Southampton midfielder Joe Aribo is on the verge of completing a move to Championship side Leicester City, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Since joining Southampton from Scottish giants Rangers, Aribo has endured an inconsistent spell at St Mary’s, struggling for regular game time due to a combination of injuries and fluctuating form.

Sources close to the negotiations indicate that talks are currently ongoing between Leicester City and Southampton over a loan deal until the end of the season, with the Foxes keen to bolster their midfield options as they push for promotion back to the Premier League.

The proposed move is seen as an opportunity for Aribo to rediscover form and match fitness through consistent playing time, while Leicester view the Nigerian international as a versatile addition capable of strengthening their squad depth in the second half of the campaign.

Discussions are said to be at an advanced stage, with a final agreement expected soon if all terms are successfully concluded.
