Unwanted by OL, who wish to sell several players this winter to replenish their coffers, Gift Orban was announced by Lens. But the profile of the Nigerian striker is not unanimous in the North.
Facing economic difficulties, Olympique Lyonnais must resolve to sell a few players during the winter transfer window. For the past 48 hours, rumors have been rife about potential candidates for departure. The names of Fofana, Cherki and even Lacazette and Abner have been mentioned but for OL, the objective is first of all to get rid of the players on whom Pierre Sage does not count. Among them, Gift Orban is clearly being pushed out. The Nigerian striker has never really found his place at Lyon since his transfer from La Gantoise just a year ago. In recent hours, journalist Andrés Onrubia Ramos has released surprising information about Gift Orban, who would be in the sights of RC Lens for this winter transfer window.
Surprising information but which did not necessarily lack credibility because the Sang et Or are looking for a potential starter in attack. However, the information was quickly denied by Foot Mercato, for whom the northern club is not interested in Gift Orban. “Gift Orban not really a priority track for RC Lens. Will Still, who has not asked to recruit a No. 9 this winter unless there is a crazy opportunity, wants to capitalize on his two attackers, Rayan Fofana and Kembo Diliwidi who recently signed pro » published on his X account the journalist Sébastien Denis, for whom Lens will not be the club which will come to the aid of OL in this winter transfer window with regard to Gift Orban. It now remains to be seen whether other clubs will be interested in the 22-year-old, who has scored two goals in five games since the start of the season with Les Gones.
