Aston Villa target Joe Aribo offered new Charlton deal

Aston Villa target Joe Aribo has been offered a fresh deal from Charlton following their promotion to the Championship.

The midfielder played the full 90 minutes in the dramatic play-off final victory over Sunderland at Wembley last weekend.

Aribo featured 39 times last season, scoring 10 goals, as well as providing three for his teammates, catching the eye of numerous Premier League sides, including Villa.

As well as Villa, Premier League rivals Southampton and Scottish giants Celtic and Rangers have been interested in the player and will be hopeful or luring the player away from The Valley.

Talking to the club’s official website, manager Lee Bowyer spoke over the decision to offer Aribo and three other Addicks’ player’s new deals.

We’ve offered them a contract, they’ll either accept or decline, all we can do is offer contracts. The four of them are up, they’re the four we’ve chosen to offer contracts to.

Charlton will be hopeful that following their promotion, they will be able to keep hold of the 22-year-old, however, with bigger sides looming over the player, he may well decide to reject the offer and push through a move to the Premier League.
