Leicester City have confirmed that Nigerian midfielder Joe Aribo will leave the club following the expiration of his loan spell, as the former Premier League champions begin a major squad restructuring after their relegation to League One.
The Foxes announced the development on Sunday in their official retained and released list, confirming the departure of several senior players alongside the return of multiple loanees to their parent clubs.
Aribo, who spent the season at Leicester on loan from Southampton, is now expected to return to St Mary’s, where he still has a contract running until June 2026.
In a statement published on the club’s official website, Leicester confirmed that the Super Eagles midfielder was among the temporary players leaving the club at the end of the campaign.
“In addition to those players, the loan spells of Jordan James, Aaron Ramsey, Joe Aribo, Dujuan Richards and Divine Mukasa will all end and see the players return to their parent clubs,” the statement read.
