Crystal Palace are planning a swoop for Glasgow Rangers midfielder Joe Aribo in the summer transfer window, according to a fresh transfer rumour, Megasportsarena.com reports.
The Nigerian has proven to be an excellent signing by the Gers after arriving in 2019, registering 25 goals and assists apiece in 141 appearances.
Aribo has continued to be a key figure for Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side this season, chipping in with eight goals and five assists in the Scottish Premiership.
Reports say Eagles club officials have even gone to scout him at Ibrox recently, further highlighting the level of keenness on show.
The 25-year-old’s current deal expires in the summer of 2023, at which point Rangers could lose him on a free transfer if he hasn’t extended his stay.
Aribo has grown into an influential figure at Ibrox, as shown by his aforementioned statistics, so losing him would be a big blow for Van Bronckhorst.
The idea of joining the Patrick Vieira revolution at Palace could be too good to turn down for the midfielder, with the Frenchman already getting strong performances out of vibrant players such as Wilfried Zaha, Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise.
The hope is that Aribo stays at Rangers, but it is easy to envisage a scenario where his head is turned by a move to Selhurst Park.
