JOE ARIBO has emerged as a transfer target for Crystal Palace, according to reports.

The Ibrox midfielder, 25, has reportedly caught the eye of Eagles chiefs who are plotting a summer swoop for the Nigerian.

The Scottish Sun claim Patrick Viera could move for Aribo as Conor Gallagher's loan spell expires at Selhurst Park.

It's also claimed Palace sporting director Dougie Freedman watched Aribo in action in the 3-0 loss against Celtic.

Rangers are thought to be commanding a fee of around £10m to allow Aribo to leave, according to the report.

Aribo is contracted with Rangers until at least the summer of 2023 and has been a key player under Giovanni van Bronckhorst.

He's made 34 appearances for Rangers this term; scoring six and providing six assists.

He returned to Rangers action in the Celtic clash after missing a number of matches due to international duty with Nigeria in the African Cup of Nations.

It comes after suggestions Palace are also watching Celtic winger Liel Abada.

It's thought the Israeli winger has impressed the Eagles with the club said to be keeping tabs on the 20-year-old.
