Gift Orban, a highly sought-after striker in Europe, made a significant impact during his breakthrough season with Gent, notching an impressive 20 goals in just 22 appearances.
According to Soccernet.ng, Tottenham Hotspur, a Premier League side, is considering the possibility of acquiring the Nigerian and Gent striker in the event that Harry Kane departs for Bayern Munich during the summer transfer window.ย
The 30-year-old England skipper has been strongly linked with a move to Germany, with Bayern Munich showing keen interest since the start of the transfer window. After finishing a distant 8th inย the Premier League last season, Ange Postecoglou’s side is reportedly drawing up a list of potential replacements for Harry Kane.
Nottingham Forest striker Brennan Johnson is their primary target, but manager Steve Cooper is reluctant to part with him. Consequently, Tottenham might turn their attention to Gift Orban as another option to fill the void left by the English striker, as reported by Daily Mail.
Gift Orban has garnered interest from various European clubs and Saudi Arabia following an exceptional season in Belgium, where he scored an impressive 20 goals in 22 appearances for Genk during his initial six months with the club.
The 21-year-old striker has continued his fine form from last season, finding the net in friendly games and contributing to Gent’s 5-1 victory in the Europa Conference League. He also opened his Belgian Pro League account with a goal in Gent’s 3-2 triumph over KVKortrijk last weekend.
