“I’m really happy to have got this call-up to Nigeria and I just want to make the most of it and also play as long as possible to do all I can to ensure we continue being the best national team,” Aribo enthused.

“I’m a central midfielder and I like to get in and around the box, help the team defensively and also add more bite to the attacking strength of the team,” Aribo concluded.

The Rangers midfielder came through the ranks at English side Charlton Athletic where he spent four seasons with the League one side making 97 appearances and netting 17 goals in the process.

He then helped the club return to the Championship after a three-year absence following their triumph in the playoffs last May but opted on renewing his contract with the club, joining Rangers on a free transfer before being handed a call-up by Nigeria.
