EPL: Aribo admits difficult first season at Southampton

Super Eagles midfielder, Joe Aribo claimed things were difficult for him during his first season at Southampton.

The 26-year-old joined the Saints in a well-celebrated move from Scottish club, Rangers last summer.

Things went smoothly for the player during his opening months at the South Coast but a managerial change saw him lose his place in the team.

Aribo managed just two goals from 21 appearances.

The Nigerian admitted things didn’t go as planned for him.

“For me, very frustrating,” Aribo told Planet Sport Football Africa podcast while reviewing the past season.

“It was tough because you want to do so well for yourself, you know. I had a new challenge and I wanted to hit the ground running.”

He has been linked with a return to his former club Rangers.
