Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly keen on signing 21-year-old Gent striker Gift Orban in the ongoing transfer window.
A report from Evening Standard claims that Tottenham are expected to submit a formal offer to sign 21-year-old Gent striker Gift Orban before the end of the summer transfer window.
Spurs recently sanctioned the departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich, and they will have to bring in necessary reinforcements. The 30-year-old was a key player for Tottenham and he was their main source of goals.
Spurs need to bring in a quality goal scorer in order to fill the void left by Kane. Orban has done quite well for the Belgium club scoring 20 goals across all competitions. So Tottenham’s interest in him is understandable.
The talented youngster has the potential to develop into a top-class goal scorer and he would be a solid, long-term investment for Tottenham. Ange Postecoglou could help him develop further and fulfil his tremendous potential in the coming seasons.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham can agree on a deal for the 21-year-old striker now. The Nigerian is valued at more than £25 million and Tottenham certainly have the financial resources to get the deal done, especially after the departure of Kane.
Spurs will be hoping to get back into the Champions League and they need to improve their squad adequately in order to stand a chance of finishing in the top four. Improving their central defensive unit and the attack will be crucial to their hopes of doing well this season.
Orban will be tempted to join a Premier League club like Tottenham and it would be a major step up in his career. It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few weeks. The 21-year-old Nigerian is a tremendous talent with huge potential. He has all the attributes to develop into a top-class player and a move to the Premier League could accelerate his development.
If Tottenham manage to sign him for a fee of around £25 million, the deal could look like a bargain in the long run. Orban is still only 21 and he is likely to improve with coaching and experience in the coming months.
