Aribo choose the best moment to have a good run of regular games for promotion chasing Southampton!
16 appearance this season and people talk as if he hasn’t been playing at all.
He is starting every game now for his club and playing for 90 mins.. I think he has the super eagles to thank as his continued invitation ensured he was fit and ready even when he wasn’t getting games in his club.. this is one benefit of playing for the super eagles.. a player can get super eagles invite despite not being active in his club.. past appearance can be a yardstick for continued invitation..
I’m glad he is back playing regularly.. a player like okoye has missed a Golden opportunity as going for the Afcon is better than sitting on the bench for your club.. look at Uzoho , he is now playing every game for his club.. congratulations to aribo
