While Celtic fans look forward to seeing the impact that Christopher Jullien has on their defence it seems that the hoops have let a world-beater slip through the net.
Arriving on a cut price Development Deal at Ibrox is Joe Aribo. He is no ordinary Joe he is actually a cross between Patrick Patrick Vieira and Dele Alli!
It seems that no one can be themselves at Ibrox, not so long ago loan signing Jeremy Goss was a cut price Michael Carrick, not so long ago Liverpool starlet Jordan Rossiter was the new Stevie Gee before he bombed on loan at fourth tier Bury.
Rangers’ latest signing, Joe Aribo, has revealed that he hopes to reproduce at Ibrox some of the attributes that have led to comparisons with Patrick Vieira and Dele Alli https://t.co/mS5awK7lhu

Rangers can turn Joe Aribo into an “even better player” after signing the midfielder from Charlton Athletic on a four-year deal, says Steven Gerrard.https://t.co/VK4uUoKngn pic.twitter.com/CFZAxA6Djz

I have been compared to Patrick Vieira and Dele Alli too.
In so far as people have said: “Compared to Patrick Vieira and Dele Alli? Dominik Diamond is shite!”
The comparison is not hard for anyone. https://t.co/J053AadvCH

It’s not just the usual suspects that are blowing trumpets for Aribo who will now battle it out for a place in Gerrard’s star studded midfield alongside Ryan Jack, Andy Halliday, Steve Davis, Scott Arfield, Greg Docherty, Young McCrorie and Graham Dorrans.
Rather than settle for signing an out of contract Charlton midfielder from the third tier of English football there requires to be extra top spin on any signing.
As Goss and Rossiter look to revive their careers in the lower tiers of English football it’s unlikely that any sleep will be lost at Celtic over missing out on Joe -Alli-Vierra.
