Joe Aribo has revealed he did not get a proper chance at Southampton last season.
Aribo arrived Southampton from Scottish Premiership giants, Glasgow Rangers last summer.
Despite his huge reputation at his former club, the 28-year-old couldn’t tie down a regular shirt at Southampton.
“For me, very frustrating,” the midfielder told a podcast while reviewing the past season.
“It was tough because you want to do so well for yourself, you know. I had a new challenge and I wanted to hit the ground running.
“And obviously, I had all of these goals and what I wanted to do, also to help the team. But I didn’t feel I got the chance to do that and it was really frustrating. It was a season of learning.
“But also, I felt like I needed that season because it was God that put me in that situation and I have learnt that he doesn’t do it for no reason. There was a reason behind it.
“Right now I am questioning that reason, but we just have to put our faith in God and trust.”
Aribo scored twice in 21 league outings for Southampton last season.
