Gent forward, Gift Orban, has emerged as one of the brightest prospects in the Belgian league, scoring 19 goals in 19 games. The 20-year-old forward, who joined Gent in January, has been linked with several European clubs. Speaking about his football dreams, Orban revealed his admiration for the English Premier League.
Orban said that he would consider moving to Manchester United, Liverpool or Manchester City if given the opportunity. He spoke of his excitement at the prospect of playing at a top club in the “big league”. However, Orban did not express much interest in joining Arsenal.
According to the young forward, Arsenal’s repeated failure to lift a title makes the club less attractive to him. Orban stated that he wants to play for a team that wins trophies regularly. He cited Real Madrid as an example of a club that plays to win, saying they “just grab titles”.
Orban’s comments may disappoint Arsenal fans who were hoping to see him on their team. However, it is unclear if any Premier League team will move for the young striker. Gent would command a sizeable fee if they were to decide to release him.
Meanwhile, Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta has stated that he is looking forward to next season, promising that the team will return stronger. The coach acknowledged that the team has had some low points in the just-concluded season but is hopeful that they will bounce back next season.
All in all, it appears that Orban is open to a move to the Premier League, but United and Liverpool are his preferred destinations. Arsenal, however, may have to look elsewhere for a top-class striker.
