Leicester City are set to rival Aston Villa in the race to sign Rangers midfielder Joe Aribo.
According to Fichajes, the Nigeria international is expected to move to the Premier League in the upcoming January transfer window with the two clubs interested in his services.

Go to Aston Vila not liecester, am not too sure if Rodger will
not ruin your career at liecester, most especially if He is not the one who request for your services Aribo.
Kindly go to Aston Villa where you have your Ex Coach Steven G, and avoid Leicester where Rogers can sometimes be funny at benching decent players. Aston Villa is on the rise with Steven Gerrard so I see that move as a better option compared to Leicester who’s on the decline.
Aston villa is the best destination.
Aston villa should suit you well.
Please aribo go to Aston villa to continue with the development of your immense potential. In aston villa you will continue to learn under Steven Gerrard unlike the erratic coach of Leicester city. No reasonable coach will bench ihenacho after the superlative performance he put last season. Leicester city ought to be in the champions league race in the premiership if not for their coach.
Go to Aston Villa
First time everybody echoing the same opinion, I hope his manager is reading this, not only because of Rodger but that club gonna be real polluted with Nigerians and that’s not too healthy for them.
@Femi, don’t say “polluted with Nigerians” rather say “populated or saturated with Nigerians”.
Polluted is a negative connotation. Thanks.
My bad. Thanks.
Something tells me that Aribo will be moving to Liverpool this January…..Aribo is good enough to play for any EPL team presently.
Liverpool has Fabinho, Thiago, Jones, Henderson, Oxlade and Keita Who will Aribo displace? Going to Liverpool will be a bad move, Aston Villa is his best destination.
Aston Villa have John McGinn, a lefty who plays in the right side of the midfield, like Aribo. I see him as potential competition for Aribo, although they can also play together if the tactics allow for this.
I do agree that going to a manager you’ve worked with in the past, who understands your game, may be beneficial for Aribo at this time.
