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:
