Super Eagles midfielder, Joe Aribo says he is living his dream of playing in the English Premier League with Southampton.

The former Charlton Athletic player described competition in the EPL as high quality.

Aribo left Scottish giants, Rangers for Southampton in a deal worth £10 million in the summer transfer window having helped the Gers qualify for this season’s Champions League.

“It’s a dream for me to play in the Champions League but I’m also living my dream playing in the Premier League. So, it’s either or, I couldn’t have both at the time so I think for me it’s a very good decision,” Aribo told the club’s in-house channel.

“The Premier League’s intensity, quality gives you everything in a nutshell while in Scotland, intensity is through the roof but I wouldn’t necessarily say quality is as high as compared to the Premier League.”

“Then you’ve got international football where it might be a bit slower paced but quality is high because there are a lot of good players. So, I’d say the Premier League is just everything wrapped into one.”

Aribo has scored twice in 12 matches in the Premier League, having established himself as one of Southampton’s key players.

He has also netted twice for Super Eagles in 20 international matches.
