Leicester City have completed the loan signing of Nigerian midfielder Joe Aribo as they bolster their squad for the remainder of the season.<\/p>\n

Sky Sports reported on Monday that the Foxes had reached an agreement to bring in the Nigeria international temporarily, a move the club later confirmed the same day.<\/p>\n

Aribo adds proven Premier League and Championship pedigree to Leicester\u2019s ranks, having previously turned out for Southampton and Scottish giants Rangers.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old arrives at the King Power Stadium after making 111 appearances for Southampton over four seasons across the Premier League and Sky Bet Championship.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Foxes Hub following the move, Aribo said: \u201cFor me, it\u2019s amazing to have got it done and I just can\u2019t wait to get going. I\u2019ve always known the squad is good. I\u2019m so certain [about] where we can get to and what we can do together. It\u2019s just good to be a part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Born in Camberwell, England, Aribo began his football journey with non-league side Staines Town in 2014, where he featured regularly in the Isthmian League before earning a move to Charlton Athletic in the summer of 2015.<\/p>\n

He went on to establish himself as a key player for the Addicks after breaking into the first team during the 2016\/17 season. His performances attracted interest from Rangers, whom he joined in 2019.<\/p>\n

During his time in Glasgow, Aribo made 149 appearances in all competitions for Rangers, scoring 26 goals. His three seasons at the club included a long-awaited Scottish Premiership title in 2020\/21, lifting the Scottish Cup in 2021\/22, and over 40 outings in European competitions.<\/p>\n

Notably, he scored in the UEFA Europa League final against Eintracht Frankfurt in 2022, although Rangers were eventually defeated on penalties in Seville.<\/p>\n

On the international stage, Aribo has earned 34 caps for Nigeria. He made his Super Eagles debut in a friendly against Ukraine in August 2019 and was part of the squad that finished runners-up at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations in C\u00f4te d\u2019Ivoire.<\/p>\n

Aribo is expected to link up with his new Leicester City team-mates ahead of their next Sky Bet Championship clash away to Birmingham City on Saturday, 7 February, with kick-off scheduled for 3:01pm.<\/p>\n
