Gerrard has been reassembling his squad once again and has already made seven additions as he revamps his squad.<\/p>\n<p>Aribo\u00a0follows the likes of\u00a0Jake Hastie, Jordan Jones, Steven Davis, Greg Stewart, <a href=\"https:\/\/lwosonfootball.ms.lastwordonsports.com\/2019\/06\/18\/rangers-sheyi-ojo-liverpool\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sheyi Ojo<\/a> and George Edmundson in completing switches to Ibrox.<\/p>\n<p>All seven of them will be in through the door in Glasgow before the Light Blues head on their pre-season tour of Portugal.

Some of his potential suitors were thought to be in the Premier League, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.skysports.com\/football\/news\/11788\/11747074\/joe-aribo-set-to-join-rangers-and-snub-premier-league-move?fbclid=IwAR2OMIbbBt6C6O_g627CU4N9ZkeeYg8yLyB40l9K9U9H6hielTSv4zAvcbY\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sky Sports<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The creativity he possesses should benefit Rangers largely moving forward.
