# Rangers: Crystal Palace ready to move for Joe Aribo

**Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in signing [Rangers](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/rangers-fc-news/) midfielder Joe Aribo, claims Alex Crook in his latest talkSPORT column.**

### **The Lowdown: Aribo’s Rangers career**

Having arrived from Charlton Athletic on a [free transfer in 2019](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joe-aribo/profil/spieler/468198), the 25-year-old has become an integral part of Rangers’ midfield.

The Nigeria international has featured 56 times this season, [netting nine goals and producing ten assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/joe-aribo/leistungsdaten/spieler/468198) to help push the Glasgow side to a second-place finish both in the league and in Europe.

Aribo averaged a 7.03 [WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/306/Show/Scotland-Rangers) rating throughout Rangers’ emphatic Europa League campaign, where Giovanni van Bronckhorst’s side sensationally reached the final before missing out on penalties to Eintracht Frankfurt.

### **The Latest: Palace want Aribo**

According to journalist Alex Crook in his [talkSPORT column](https://talksport.com/football/1113374/transfer-notebook-everton-tottenham-southampton-crystal-palace-rangers-chelsea/), Crystal Palace have identified Aribo as a potential Conor Gallagher replacement.

Eagles boss Patrick Viera is said to be a big admirer of the 25-year-old, as he believes the midfielder’s versatility would be a huge asset to his Palace side.

Aribo fits Palace’s up-and-coming recruitment strategy, so the Premier League club are likely to make a move for the Rangers man in the summer.

### **The Verdict: Big loss for Rangers**

Aribo’s Ibrox departure would come as a huge loss to van Bronckhorst, as the Dutchman has claimed that the midfielder plays a [“very important role”](https://www.rangersnews.uk/analysis/dutch-coach-lavishes-form-rangers-star-with-high-hearts-praise/) in his Gers side.

Aston Villa ace and former Charlton teammate [Ezri Konsa](https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/joe-aribo-tipped-rangers-yaya-24859993) has been extremely complimentary of the Nigeria international, claiming that he reminds him of a “left-footed Yaya Toure” due to his “unique” play-style.

With a potential Ibrox exit on the cards, van Bronckhorst will be doing anything he can to keep the midfielder in Glasgow.
