Arsenal understood to be scouting Rangers man Aribo over Kamara

Premier League side Arsenal have sent scouts to the last six Rangers matches as they continue to monitor potential new targets.

The Daily Mail claimed that the Gunners have been watching Glen Kamara, who came through the club’s Academy before being released in 2017.

However, reliable Twitter source Scouts in Attendance has revealed that the Gunners are likely to be watching midfielder Joe Aribo instead. 

The 23-year-old has made 17 appearances in the Scottish Premiership for Rangers, netting twice and providing seven assists.

The Nigerian international is highly-rated by Rangers boss Steven Gerrard and has been hugely impressive so far this season.

The Gunners are clearly keen on someone at Rangers because of their multiple visits to watch their matches.

Someone has caught the eye of the scouts and if it is Aribo, then he would be a great target as he would strengthen Mikel Arteta’s midfield options.

With Granit Xhaka’s future in north London still in doubt, bringing in Aribo would make sense. But, Rangers will not be looking to offload him during their title bid this season.
