Having played just 338 minutes with Bournemouth and Valencia last term, Aarons will be hoping for more game time at Rangers.
The 25-year-old has primarily played as a right-back throughout his career but has also filled in on the left of defence at times.
After moving from Norwich to Bournemouth for a reported £7m two summers ago, Aarons went on play 20 times in the 2023-24 Premier League, starting 13 times.
His minutes were limited by injury, but the defender still ranked well across a number of categories when compared to fellow full-backs in England’s top flight on a per-90 basis.
In the 2023-24 season, according to FotMob, external, Aarons ranked high for successful dribbles and fouls won, while his recoveries, tackle success and duel success were also positive.
However, the Englishman was at the lower end for aerial duel success, touches and pass accuracy.
How does that compare James Tavernier, the man Aarons is likely to be competing with for the right-back spot?
Of course, the differences between playing for Rangers in the Scottish Premiership and playing for Bournemouth in the Premier League have to be taken into consideration.
And that will play a part in Tavernier vastly outperforming Aarons’ 2023-24 numbers when it comes to on-the-ball work, including chance creation.
On the defensive side, Aarons comes out on top for successful tackles and possession won in the final third, but the Rangers captain ranks higher for blocks, clearances and interceptions.
