Joe Aribo breaks Rangers transfer silence as he addresses Ibrox Premier League exit option claim

Focussed Joe Aribo has shut down any talk of him leaving Rangers for the English Premier League.

Following the summer window passed, Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr claimed Aribo was late for international duty after being involved in transfer talks.

The Super Eagles boss stated that a club south of the border had been tracking the playmaker until the very last seconds of the deadline.

However, Aribo has now poured cold water over the statements from his international boss insisting he was only concentrating on life in the Scottish Premiership.

When asked about his future by Nigerian radio station Brila FM, the Rangers playmaker said: "I am not focused with anything that is coming outside of football.

"I'm just focused on what's going on with my club, and me and my club so that's all I care about and that's what I want to be doing."

He also hailed the impact of Steven Gerrard on his career, having been deployed in several different midfield areas so far this season.

Aribo added: It's helping me grow as a player.

"I'm understanding different positions, what to do in certain positions on the pitch so it's really good for me and it helps me grow as a player.

"I want to add goals and assists to my game so hopefully I can get as many as possible".
