Several top European clubs, including German clubs Eintracht Frankfurt and FC Union Berlin, as well as French club Lille, are jostling for the signature of Gent’s petit striker, Gift Orban. However, Gent reportedly expects a bid worth €30m for the 20-year-old Nigerian attacker.
According to a report by Voetbalkrant, Gent rejected a season loan offer from Turkish champions Galatasaray, who had an option to buy the player for €15m in the following year. Additionally, English Premier League club Burnley has “taken information” on Orban- who has been linked with Manchester United, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur.
Orban, who has had a spectacular 2021/2022 season, scored a total of 21 goals in 21 appearances, including three hat-tricks. He is expected to make his 22nd appearance for Gent when they take on Standard Liege on Saturday in their final game of the season.
Meanwhile, Lille is reportedly weighing up whether to make Orban their top transfer priority should they sell Jonathan David in the summer. Orban would cost Gent €30m, but with such impressive performances under his belt, several European top leagues clubs are said to be queuing up to deposit their money in the Nigerian striker’s direction.
It is pertinent to note that while following up on Orban’s future prospects is crucial in the world of football, it is also essential to address mental health challenges associated with the desire to perform excellently.

Clubs in Europe’s top leagues have indicated interest in the young Nigerian attacker, who has had a fantastic season, scoring 21 goals in 21 outings, including three hat-tricks.
