Gerrard talks up Aribo potential
Steven Gerrard is confident that he has signed a player who can be a real star both now and in the future, having brought Joe Aribo to Rangers from Charlton Athletic.
The 22-year-old has signed a four-year contract with the Gers, having helped Charlton secure promotion back to the Championship last season.
We are confident we can turn Joe into an even better player.

And, while Gerrard expects Aribo to bring something currently missing from his midfield options, he also believes that is plenty of potential to tap into for the years ahead.
He told his club's official website: "There were a lot of clubs in for Joe around Europe, in the Premier League and the Championship.
"He's mobile, dynamic, can burst past a player and create and score goals. There is room for him to develop, but he'll give us something we’ve not got in the midfield department.
"He's left footed, which is something we don't have in our midfield at the moment, so he'll give us more balance.
"We are confident we can turn Joe into an even better player and I'm really looking forward to working with him. He's still young and we firmly believe there is a lot to come from him."
Rangers finished in second place in the SPFL last season, while they were beaten by Aberdeen in the quarter-finals of the Scottish Cup and the semi-finals of the League Cup.
In Europe they were unable to progress from the group stage of the Europa League.
Gerrard's side are 12/5 to be crowned Scottish champions next season, with Celtic available at 1/3.
