I want to mark my stamp as a Premier League footballer —Joe Aribo

Super Eagles and Southampton midfielder Joe Aribo has reflected on his current ambitions as a player by declaring that he wants to mark his stamp as a Premier League footballer.

The talented player who made the remarks in a chat with the British media said that he just wants to be acknowledged or be known as a very good player and nothing too crazy.

Joe Aribo also noted that deep down inside of him, he knows what abilities that he has and his main purpose is to showcase them (his talent) for the world to see.

“I want to mark my stamp as a Premier League footballer, that’s a dream of mine,” said Aribo, reflecting on his current ambitions.

“I just want to be acknowledged or be known as a very good player really, nothing too crazy, but I know what I am capable of.

“I know what abilities I have and my purpose I believe is to showcase them for the world to see.

“The relegation was a difficult season for me and I had my ups and downs when I wasn’t playing, but you have to learn from it.

“Nobody’s career is going to keep soaring upwards and you have to go through a phase of being humble, and I think that’s what it does.

“It realigns your goals and where you want to get to. Disappointment is a part of life and it took a long season to get here.

“Our goal was to be back in the Premier League, we did it the hard way going to Wembley but we did it and we’re back again.”
