His recent remarkable performance for Belgian side KAA Gent in the Europa Conference League qualifier against MSK Zilina has only added to his growing reputation.
Orban’s goal-scoring prowess was on full display as he led Gent to a resounding 5-1 victory on home turf.
Having already impressed in the Jupiler league last season with an incredible 15 goals in just 16 appearances, the young sensation continued his impressive form right from the start of the 2023/2024 season.
With interest pouring in from French clubs, LOSC Lille is said to be at the forefront of the chase for Orban’s signature.
Known for their knack for nurturing young talents, Lille views Orban as the perfect candidate to potentially fill the void left by star striker Jonathan David, should he depart the club.
Notably, Lens, another French club with a history of employing Nigerian stars, is also closely monitoring Orban’s situation, recognizing the potential he holds.
As Orban’s star continues to rise in the football world, a move to a prestigious European league seems increasingly likely.
The young talent’s determination and skill set have made him a sought-after player, and all eyes will be on him to see how he continues to make an impact on the pitch, be it at Lille or elsewhere.
Born in Benue State, Nigeria, Orban is of Togolese descent through his mother.
