Charlton Athletic striker Lyle Taylor has described new Rangers signing Joe Aribo as the “best I’ve played with” in an interview with Sky Sports Transfer Talk.
The 29-year-old played alongside Aribo at the Valley during the last campaign and his comments suggest he was very happy with what he saw.
Taylor scored 21 and assisted a further 11 in League One last season as Charlton made it into the Championship through the Playoffs.
The comment will excite Rangers and their fans, with the club clearly delighted they managed to secure the future of Aribo.
Rangers beat off competition from the Premier League, Europe and rivals Celtic to sign the highly rated 22-year-old Londoner.
One report even suggested the Ibrox club beat off competition from 17 other sides for the player [Scottish Sun].
Steven Gerrard was visibly delighted when the club unveiled the player and the Rangers boss was a major factor in getting the deal over the line.
The Liverpool legend even described Aribo’s signature as a major coup for the club.
Everything being said about this boy is incredibly positive.
A multi-talented midfield player who can dribble, run, shoot, tackle and pass, the creativity and ability Aribo can bring is something we missed last season.
Let’s hope he can make the difference this time out.
Lyle Taylor certainly thinks he has the ability.
