Football fans enjoying the African Cup of Nations have sent Joe Aribo trending as they rave about the Rangers' midfielder.
The silky star started in the Super Eagles' midfield for their match against Egypt and helped create Kelechi Iheanacho's opening goal with a deft cushioned header.
And fans from across the football spectrum were impressed by the London born star's wide football skillset with one Chelsea fan even claiming he should be valued at €30m.
A 6ft2" powerhouse, Aribo is also tricky and skilful on the ball, a factor not missed by his army of new fans on social media.
You can watch his impact on the goal in the tweet below.
What a strike! 🤯

Joe Aribo is such a nifty player, his movement on and off the ball has been brilliant.
