Joe Aribo justifies Southampton and Tottenham interest with classy performance in televised match

Charlton Athletic midfielder Joe Aribo put himself in the shop window with a masterclass in front of the Sky Sports cameras over the weekend.

In Saturday’s League One clash with Portsmouth, Aribo showed exactly why he is hot property with a fine display to guide Charlton to victory.

The ball-carrying midfielder, who is out of contract at the end of the season, would have picked up many admirers for his classy performance in the middle of the park.

Aribo was a constant threat for the Addicks and he capped his performance with a well-taken goal to give Charlton the lead.

His contract situation has alerted a host of clubs with Bundesliga outfits ready to compete with three English clubs for Aribo’s services.

, Charlton are desperate to tie the former Staines Town midfielder down to a new deal but Derby County, Southampton and Tottenham Hotspur hold a long-term interest.

In addition, Eintracht Frankfurt and Benfica are reportedly keeping their tabs on the talented 22-year-old’s contract situation.

Aribo is a box-to-box midfielder who has already played nearly 100 games for Charlton, despite his young age. He looks a class above at League One level and could easily be playing at a higher standard.

With 12 goals to his name as well, the youngster clearly has the full package and his latest display justified interest from the Premier League, Bundesliga and Portugal.
