Forest loan out Ariyibi to MK Dons

|

MK Dons have signed Nottingham Forest ace Gboly Ariyibi on a season-long loan, it has been confirmed.

The 22-year-old attacker will spend the 2017-18 campaign at the Stadium MK, and he becomes the club’s second signing in four days after Ethan Ebanks-Landell’s arrival from Wolverhampton Wanderers on Friday.

The SkyBet League One club announced the news on their official website and on their official Twitter account on Monday afternoon.

Ariyibi is Dons manager Robbie Neilson’s sixth signing of the summer as he follows Conor McGrandles, Ousseynou Cisse, Peter Pawlett, Wieger Sietsma and the aforementioned Ebanks-Landell to the club.

Forest signed the 22-year-old from Chesterfield in January of this year for an undisclosed fee, but he is yet to make his debut for the club.

He had been a regular in the Spireites’ forward line in the first-half of the 2016-17, and he played 36 league and cup games, which yielded four assists.

Ariyibi is primarily a right-winger, but he is also comfortable on the left-flank and in the middle of an attacking three.

The 22-year-old began his career in Southampton’s academy before leaving for Leeds in 2013, and then signing for Chesterfield a year later.

He has been capped on four occasions by USA Under-23s, and he has netted one goal.
