The Nigerian international was signed from Rangers in the summer for an initial fee of around £6m. And Aribo immediately established himself as a crucial member of Ralph Hasenhuttl’s team, appearing in each of the 14 Premier League games under the Austrian while starting ten of those. While he confirmed that he is fit to play, Aribo told Elegbete TV Sports that he is staying patient and waiting for the right timing.
Joe Aribo said: “It’s coach’s decision. I think every single coach has their own opinion on things. For me, I’m not really too fussed or too fazed because it’s all processes, it’s growing pains. I just need to be patient and just wait on god’s timing – which is perfect. Of course, it’s difficult. For any normal human it would be difficult. But for me, I don’t let that affect me too much. I’m pretty strong minded so how I deal with disappointment is I kind of use it to charge me and just try to improve the best I can. Again, it’s god’s plan. So at the end of the day, I shouldn’t stress, I should just have faith.”
