Aston Villa have been linked with a January move for Rangers midfielder Joe Aribo by The Daily Record.

And, as to be expected, a number of Villa fans have been quick to give their thoughts to the rumour on social media.

Steven Gerrard left Ibrox for Villa Park last month and was promised a huge January kitty by owners NSWE.

Rangers quartet Glen Kamara, Ryan Kent, Borna Barisic and Nathan Patterson were all linked with moves to the Midlands last month, whereas rumours regarding centre-back Connor Goldson have recently emerged.

It now seems as if Aribo is another player of interest, with The Daily Record name-checking Villa, Brentford, Burnley and Southampton with an interest.

He’s contributed to 10 goals in 31 appearances and it now seems as if Gerrard wants to bring the Nigeria international to the Premier League.

Villa fans react

The AVFC Faithful shared The Daily Record’s claim regarding Villa and three other Premier League clubs being keen on Aribo. This is what some Villa fans had to say in reply, with one labelling the midfielder as 'a baller'.
