The Premier League race for Rangers midfielder Joe Aribo is intensifying.

The Sun says Aston Villa have joined the Premier League chase for Aribo.

The Nigeria international was a key figure when Villa boss Steven Gerrard led the Gers to last season's Scottish Premiership title.

And the pair could be reunited with the versatile midfielder tipped to return south of the border this summer amid interest from Crystal Palace, Brentford and other top-flight English clubs.
