Super Eagles midfielder eyes Turkish move with contract nearing end.

Joe Aribo

Joe Aribo is likely to leave Southampton in January for a reduced fee, with Turkish Super Lig clubs circling.

Key Details

  • Limited Role: Aribo has been a fringe player, waiting until Gameweek 13 for his first appearance. He has not played more than 30 minutes in any match this season.
  • Contract Situation: With six months left, managers Will Still and Tonda Eckert do not plan to extend. Southampton wants to sell rather than lose him for free.
  • Valuation Drop: Valued at €4 million on Transfermarkt, the club may accept €1.5 million.
  • Turkish Interest: Trabzonspor and Göztepe are leading suitors. Aribo seeks regular football and is open to a move if the offer is right.

The former Rangers star stayed despite relegation and summer links, but lack of game time has made his exit almost certain. January could mark a fresh start in Turkey.
