Aribo also won the Scottish Premiership and Scottish Cup and thanked Rangers for “an amazing journey being part of this special club”.

However, the 25-year-old midfielder admitted the lure of the English top flight was too great after completing a deal that could rise to £10 million ($12 million).

“I’m really excited for the journey. The Premier League is the best league in the world,” Aribo told Southampton’s website.

“I’ve been watching it since I was a young boy, it’s always been a goal for me to play here and show what I can do on this stage.

“It’s an amazing feeling, a dream come true.

“This is where I’ve wanted to be since I was a child growing up playing, so to say that I’m here now is really exciting.”

Aribo in the Saints’ fifth signing of the transfer window after goalkeepers Gavin Bazunu and Mateusz Lis, German defender Armel Bella-Kotchup and promising midfielder Romeo Lavia.

“We believe Joe can bring energy and creativity to our side,” said Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl.

“He has played a lot of games already in his career, at a very high level, and his performances in the Europa League prove he has the quality to play in the Premier League.

“This is a big ambition for him, and he is hungry to show everybody he can do it.”
