According to ɾєρօɾτs,Tottenham Hotspurhave stepped up their interest inGentattackerGift Orban, who has previously poked fun at their rivalsArsenal.
The 21-year-old made a great impact for Belgium outfitGentafter joining them from Norweigan side Stabaek earlier this year.
In his first 24 appearances forGent, he’s grabbed 22 goals and two assists. He’s also made a promising start to the 2023/24 season as he has scored in each of his first two games.
Man Utd were heavily linked with Orban earlier this yearand he caused a stir in May when he jokingly indicated that he “doesn’t really like Arsenal”.
“Playing in a big league. At a club where I feel comfortable and where I play,” Orban said.
“The Premier League is my ultimate dream. Manchester United, Liverpool, or Manchester City (laughs).
“I don’t really likeArsenalthat much – it’s like they don’t want to win titles. They play and sell players – that’s it. I want to go somewhere where they win prizes.”
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano later clarified that the forward was joking as he has “utmost respect for Arsenal”.
Belgian journalistSacha Tavolieriis now ɾєρօɾτing thatSpursare “in contact” withGentwith Orban. He added.
“Spurs could go as high as €30M (including bonuses) according to the latest oral discussions undertaken with their Belgian counterparts.
“The profile of the Nigerian striker has been validated by Ange Postecoglou.
“The green light to sєɴԀ the written offer is obviously linked to theHarry Kaneaffair.
“The English are anticipating the market by paying €30m in 2023 than have to offer the double once Orban has exploded in an intermediate league… wait and see.”
Spurs obviously feel that this is a potential bargain Ԁєɑł with them expecting Orban’s value to rapidly rise over the next 12 months.
Regarding Kane, he is being targeted by Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich, who are in the market for Robert Lewandowski’s long-term replacement.
The Daily Telegraph are ɾєρօɾτing that he ‘will call time on Bayern Munich’s bid to sign him if the German club cannot agree a Ԁєɑł with Tottenham Hotspur this week’.
TheSpursforward ‘is adamant he will not leave Tottenham once the new Premier League season starts and has set a deadline of the єɴԀ of this week for any move to be agreed’, while a new offer for him from Bayern is considered ‘likely’.
