Joe Aribo handed Rangers transfer advice as EPL upstarts told to push the boat out for Ibrox star

Playmaker Joe Aribo has been told to jump at the chance to leave Rangers for Brentford this summer.

Aribo is among a host of first-team Ibrox stars who will become a free agent in the summer of 2023.

The Nigeria international has reportedly attracted interest from the English Premier League with Crystal Palace and The Bees named among the interest parties.

With the prospect of Aribo penning a pre-contract and leaving for free from January, sporting director Ross Wilson has a big call to make on his future.

However, the 25-year-old could also faces a big call if he is to leave the Scottish Premiership.

Brentford hero and Nigeria cap Sam Sodje wants to see his fellow countryman move to the Brentford Community Stadium.

He told All Nigeria Soccer : "It's easy. What people don't know is that Brentford is in London and once you're playing for a London team you always get reviews and the most important thing Brentford is a family club.

"The fans are incredible. If you are signing for Brentford, you know you are signing for a very good club, it would suit them.

"Let's forget about everything else, they will get games, that's the other important thing. It's about going to somewhere that you will play games.

"Aribo coming in he has to go to a football club that he has to get games. If they can come to Brentford, it's a great signing for Brentford and for them."

Aribo has stated while on international duty that he is no rush to leave Rangers this summer.

When asked about interest: "I’m happy at Rangers, I’ve been happy since I got here and I’ve loved every single minute of it.

"So I’ve just been focused on here and I just want to stay focused because at the end of the day, I’m a Rangers player and I’m not thinking about leaving because I’m really happy here."
