So far this season, Joe Aribo has been impressive for Rangers in all the 12 games he has featured in creating one assist and netting only once.

According to the report on GOAL and Soccernet, Ferguson explained that he is impressed with Joe Aribo's games and won't be surprised if he moves to the Premier League in the next transfer window.

Barry Ferguson's reaction

“I just feel Joe Aribo is getting better and better with each game I see.
“A lot of people talk about Ryan Kent and Alfredo Morelos. I think Aribo is one player a lot of clubs down south will be looking closely at.”

Since 2019 that Joe Aribo has been playing for the Super Eagles, the Nigerian midfielder has played eight games for the three-time African champions netting two goals.

Victor Osimhen on fire, scores brace for Napoli in big win

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Super Eagles attacker Victor Osimhen was on fire for Napoli after scoring twice in their 4-0 away win over Sampdoria at Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

The 22-year-old forward has now scored five goals in his last three appearances for The Parthenopeans in all competitions.

Osimhen opened the scoring for the Blues in the 10th minute after tapping into the net from close range after receiving a delivery from Lorenzo Insigne from the left flank.

This came moments after he squandered a one-on-one chance with Emil Audero earlier in the encounter.

The former Lille forward completed his brace in the 50th minute with Hirving Lozano claiming the assist this time around. He sent the ball into the 18-yard box and it found the Nigerian who simply converted the opportunity.
