Southampton boss Hasenhuttl explains new Aribo role

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl believes he has settled on the best way to use summer signing Joe Aribo

The 26-year-old, who used to play for Rangers, was used in several different roles in his past clubs.

For his part, Aribo would prefer to play as an attacker on the right-hand side, as he believes he is most effective from those areas of the pitch.

He has played as a centre-forward in the past two games for Southampton.

“I think we have found a position for him where he can create things. Especially around the box he has some really good moves and I think he created two good chances," Hasenhuttl told the Daily Echo after their 1-0 loss to Crystal Palace.
