Football Club de Marseille invites you to follow the news of OM's competitors (PSG, Monaco, Lyon, Nice, LOSC, Rennes, etc.). RC Lens is favoring the development of its young attackers Rayan Fofana and Kembo Diliwidi rather than recruiting Gift Orban this winter.
The RC Lens does not seem to make any Gift Orban a priority in the winter transfer market. According to information from FootMercatothe former La Gantoise striker, regularly cited as a potential target for the Sang et Or, is not at the top of the list of Lensois recruiters. Will Still, the RC Lens coach, has clearly expressed his intention not to recruit a number 9 this winter, unless there is a “crazy opportunity”.

Orban in Lens? Still not interested…
Instead of looking for a new striker, Will Still prefers to capitalize on his young talents, namely Rayan Fofana et Kembo Diliwiditwo attackers who recently turned professional. The Lensois coach is counting on the development of these young players to strengthen the team's attack. The objective is to gradually integrate these young elements into the team and offer them more playing time, without upsetting the current balance of the squad.
Gift Orban does not meet OL's expectations and struggles to establish himself as a starter. The Lyon striker, often a substitute, shares this situation with the other recruit Mikautadzewho also did not find his place in the starting lineup. Lack of playing timeOrban in Lyon could hasten his departure during the next transfer window. In sporting difficulty, theOL is looking to part ways with certain players to lighten its squad and generate cash. The departure of Gift Orban seems inevitable, especially since Lyon urgently needs to strengthen its financial situation.
RC Lens therefore seems to favor stability and continuity. Lyon will have to look for another way out for their attacker…
