“Come to Arsenal”- Europa League second-leading scorer says to Gift Orban

The Super Eagles-eligible forward has caught the attention of some European clubs due to his recent impressive form for his club.

Nigerian attacker, Victor Boniface, has urged Gift Orban to switch to the English Premier League amid transfer rumours.

The KAA Gent striker was advised to go to Arsenal by Boniface, who is Marcus Rashford’s closest pursuer in the 2022–23 UEFA Europa League scoring charts.

With seven goals in only six Jupiler Pro League games for the Buffalos, the Nigerian sensation is making waves in the football world owing to his remarkable exploits.

Other European teams, including Napoli and AC Milan, are reportedly interested in signing the Nigerian as a result of his performance.

And though, the 20-year-old has stated his desire to play for an English Premier League team, which has caught Leeds United’s interest, according to transfer rumours.

After reacting to a post the Nigerian youngster shared on his social media feed, Union SG forward Boniface suggested the Premier League’s top team as a potential destination for the player.

“Come to Arsenal,” Boniface wrote.

Despite just having been a part of Hein Vanhaezebrouck’s squad for a little period of time, the Belgian team may have a busy summer as a consequence of his consistently strong play for the Ghent-based club.
