The start of the winter transfer window is fast approaching. This means that clubs are working to strengthen themselves and separate themselves from a few undesirables.
Olympique de Lyon have already found a solution for Gift Orban. Arriving for more than 14 million euros from Ghent last January, the Nigerian striker failed to show his advantage in France. The French club, which needs money, has therefore decided to sell him this winter.
Gift Orban expected to sign for Hoffenheim
According to information from Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto, the 22-year-old striker should continue his career at Hoffenheim. Discussions between the different parties are already at an advanced stage.
The German club hopes that the Nigerian can help them climb the rankings, as they are only fourteenth after 17 days of the championship. The club’s current top scorer is Andrej Kramaric with 5 goals scored.
Ghent is following this matter closely because during negotiations with Lyon, the Buffalos managed to include a percentage on the resale. The people of Ghent can therefore hope to collect a few million euros in January.
Disappointing
Since his arrival in Lyon, Orban has scored 5 goals in 21 matches. A disappointing record when we see what he was able to do in Ghent (32 goals in 52 matches).
