If you look at either Rangers or Celtic, the bulk of the players they transfer out don't go to the elite clubs and it quite common to see them go to Championship clubs, so not totally out of the question that Jones might have tried to sign Aribo. Trying to sign him and managing it is a different matter. Aribo was at Charlton until 2019 when he joined Rangers, Jones was manager of Stoke who did spend money in the summer of that year, the out of contract Aribo might have been on his radar |  |
