Gift Orban: Barcelona, Benfica, and Porto keep tabs on Nigerian sensation

Gift Orban has gained media notice as a result of his remarkable performance for Ghent

Nigerian talent, Gift Orban, has reportedly piqued the interest of big European teams after his impressive performance for KAA Gent.

FC Barcelona, as well as two Portuguese teams, Benfica and FC Porto, are keeping a close eye on the 20-year-old star.

The Nigerian has established himself as a trailblazer among the East Flemish people after his arrival from Norway. He has 14 goals and 2 assists in 14 games for Hein Vanhaezebrouck’s men.

Following this, Ekrem Konur, a transfer expert, claimed on his social media platform that many big teams are interested in the attacker’s services.

Although the Gent attacker has expressed a desire to play in the Premier League, this may be more difficult for him since teams from other top leagues may come knocking for his signature.

Ghent will have a difficult task keeping Orban on board next summer. However, the millions of dollars that will flood into Artevelde will go a long way.

The Buffalos, who paid about 3.3 million euros for the Nigerian star, would have a lot of money in their pockets by the summer, and it would be a smart deal to cash in on him quickly.
