Aston Villa plans to reunite Aribo with former Boss Steven Gerrard who took over reigns at the Birmingham based club but many pundits and Leicester fans as reported by Football Scotland believe the Rangers midfielder’s relationship with fellow Nigerians Wilfred Ndidi and Kelechi Iheanacho might just be the reason Leicester City will see the deal over the line.

The Super Eagles star has been included in Nigeria’s squad for the biennial competition and the build up to the tournament is already heating up.
