Rangers midfielder Joe Aribo has taken to Twitter to thank fans for such a warm welcome to the club.
The 22-year-old is currently out in Portugal at the club’s pre-season training camp, having met manager Steven Gerrard on his arrival. Today, he tweeted how happy he is to have moved to the Scottish club:
New chapter. Delighted to have signed for @RangersFC. Can’t wait to get started! Thank you for all your messages ??❤️ #LetsWork pic.twitter.com/swymsg9BWu

Aribo was a player in high demand before the Gers snapped him up. A number of Premier League clubs, including Southampton, were after the midfielder and it’s a tremendous coup that he chose to move to Ibrox.
Former boss Lee Bowyer has had a few choice words to say about the midfielder’s decision to join Rangers in recent days, but the midfielder has opted against speaking out about the criticism. Supporters will be hoping he will be doing his talking on the pitch next season.
