Southampton midfielder, Joe Aribo has expressed his determination to solidify his place as a Premier League player.

Aribo, 27, began his journey in English football in the Championship before a successful stint in Scotland with Glasgow Rangers, which ultimately led to his move to Southampton.

Now, the midfielder is focused on making his mark in the Premier League.

“I want to mark my stamp as a Premier League footballer—that’s a dream of mine,” Aribo said, reflecting on his aspirations.

“I just want to be acknowledged as a very good player, nothing too crazy, but I know what I am capable of.”
