Rangers boss Steven Gerrard has bolstered his ranks with another new signing ahead of the 2019/20 campaign.

The club confirmed the addition of Charlton Athletic forward Joe Aribo on their official website.

London-born, the 22-year-old signs for the Gers on a four-year deal, ending speculation over his future.

Aribo is a graduate of the youth academy at The Valley and finished his time at the Addicks with a flourish.

He bagged 10 goals and claimed five assists as Lee Bowyer’s men won promotion to the Championship through the play-offs.

Aribo becomes the third player to join the Gers from the Football League this summer. Greg Stewart signed following his release by Birmingham City, whilst George Edmundson recently signed from Oldham.

Rangers supporters seem thrilled to get this deal over the line.

Celtic had apparently been interested in his signature at one stage this summer whilst other Championship clubs were keen too.

Following his arrival at Ibrox, Rangers fans took to Twitter to rave about their new recruit.

We had a look at a selection of the best tweets from the Gers’ faithful in the aftermath of Aribo putting pen-to-paper at the Glaswegian giants:
