Southampton manager, Russel Martin has praised Joe Aribo for his remarkable fighting spirit.
Aribo struggled to get into Southampton starting X1 earlier in the season following the club’s relegation from the Premier League.
The midfielder has however recently become a regular starter for the club.
The Nigeria international has started Southampton’s last five Championship games.
Aribo was on target in Southampton’s 5-0 drubbing of Swansea City on Boxing Day. READ ALSO:
