Southampton midfielder Aribo responds to Hasenhuttl squad rift rumours

Southampton midfielder Joe Aribo is baffled by claims of manager Ralph Hasenhuttl having lost the dressing room.

Aribo scored in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Leeds.

He was asked for his verdict – from inside the Saints dressing room – on the claims.

“You see the boys fighting, you see they're working together as a team and it all starts on the pitch," the Nigeria international told the Daily Echo.

“That's what we're going to do, we're going to fight, keep pushing and we'll see what we do."

Aribo continued: “To be fair, I have not heard anything about it. I've just been focussed, obviously I've just come in and I've not heard anything from the boys.

“Like I said, I've not seen it, not heard anything. I have just come in, the boys have welcomed me and we've been working hard on the training field together.

“Everyone is ready to go, ready to fight, you saw it in the second-half. Everyone is ready to work together and do our best for the team."
