African Football

  Super Eagles of Nigeria and Rangers FC of Scotland midfielder, Joe Aribo, has stated that he is fully motivated ahead of the upcoming 2020/2021 Scottish Premier League season. Aribo who joined Rangers from Charlton last season has been impressive in the middle of the park for Steven Gerrard‘s men and will hope to replicate his form for the Scottish giants or play better than he did last season which was brought to a premature end due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Nigerian has been superb in the club’s unbeaten pre-season campaign, commanding the midfield excellently and scoring a beautiful goal in his club’s 4 nil thrashing of Motherwell, last Wednesday, July 22, 2020.
“Really, I’m self-motivated so it’s not like they are pushing me. But it’s good to have competition because we can’t settle or slack because we will lose our place. Me in myself I have to find my own standards and drive my own standards but it’s good to have” Joe Aribo

Aribo who looks bulkier, commanding great physical presence in the heart of the midfield these days had a tough first season in Scotland but did not fail to show what he is capable of doing with the round leather ball on his feet. He looks anew and improved, all thanks to his lockdown training routine.
“I take every game as it comes. I need to get myself ready as well as the team. I’m ready to go. I have been pushing. Since lockdown, we have had individual programmes and now we are ready to go and happy to be back.” Aribo
