Tottenham Hotspur Football Club has taken a significant step towards securing Nigerian striker Gift Orban, as the search for a successor to the departed Harry Kane gains momentum.
Leading transfer expert Ekrem Konur, specializing in GoalBall coverage, was the first to unveil this development concerning the highly-talented Super Eagles prospect.
Following England captain Harry Kane’s recent move to Bayern Munich, a substantial void has been left in Tottenham’s attacking lineup, a gap that needs filling as the new Premier League season approaches.
Initially, Romelu Lukaku from Chelsea had been the prime target, with the young Gent striker Orban seen as a secondary option.
However, indications suggest that Lukaku is inclined towards continuing his career in Italy, prompting Tottenham to shift their focus towards finalizing a deal with Gift Orban.
Having successfully negotiated personal terms with the Belgian-based striker, Tottenham is now optimistic about striking a deal worth approximately 30 million Euros for the highly-regarded Super Eagles prospect.
Gift Orban, who joined Gent in January after a move from Norway’s First Division side Stabæk, seamlessly adapted to his new environment. Displaying his prowess, he impressively scored 20 goals in 22 appearances for his new team.
Making his mark early in the season, the young striker marked his account by netting a hat-trick against Pogoń Szczecin during a Europa Conference League qualifier on August 9.
Born in Benue State, Nigeria, Gift Orban holds eligibility to represent the Togo national team due to his mother’s heritage.
Renowned as one of the most promising young strikers globally, Orban’s attributes include remarkable speed and strength, coupled with a composed finishing ability within the penalty box.
As Tottenham inches closer to securing the services of this exceptional talent, expectations are mounting on Orban to not only fill the void left by Kane but also create a significant impact on the club’s attacking dynamics.
