Photos: Gent forward Gift Orban ‘rests’ for a ‘Bruxelles’ tattoo

The Gent star has scored 12 goals in all competition since he joined the Belgian side.

Promising Nigerian attacker, Gift Orban, who is in decent form for KAA Gent, rocks a new tattoo on his upper arm.

The player was compelled to skip Nigeria’s Under-23 qualifiers for the Africa Cup of Nations due to his club’s desire for him to rest during the international break.

Nonetheless, Orban seems to be enjoying his holiday, as he posts a photo of himself with a tattoo and the word “Bruxelles” on social media.

See pictures here:

Brussels, the capital of Belgium, is pronounced as Bruxelles in French. The area is a part of both the French Community of Belgium and is situated in the country’s centre.

The attacker, who is Togonian by maternal heritage and grew up there, once again showed his love of the French language with the caption.

The striker joined Gent in Belgium from Stabaek Fotbal at the very end of the January transfer window and has been on fire ever since for the Buffalos.

The 20-year-old was anticipated to bring his sauce to the Olympic Eagles squad after scoring 7 goals in less than 5 days for Hein Vanhaezebrouck’s side, but his club refused the request.

The former Bison FC player, who is also eligible to play for the Super Eagles, is expected to play for the Super Eagles shortly owing to a recent string of strong performances.
