Gift Orban, a 21-year-old striker for KAA Gent, is rumored to favor a move to Lille over a move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
According to Belgian newspaper De Morgen, Orban would prefer a move to the Ligue 1 club.
However, according to the information, Lille will not make an offer until striker Jonathan David leaves.
And, like many of Orban’s suitors, they believe an asking price of roughly £26 million is too expensive.
Orban is seen as the ‘ideal’ striker for Ange Postecoglou to sign at Tottenham before the transfer window ends.
Spurs officials are thought to like the striker a lot.
Orban, one would think, would prefer a move to Lille, where he would have more guaranteed game time.
The French team has proven to be a good platform for emerging players to advance their careers around Europe.
In recent years, the club has sold all of Nicolas Pepe, Victor Osimhen, and Sven Botman for large sums of money.
Lille appears to be a fantastic destination for a bright young player.
Orban is thought to favor a transfer to Lille over a move to Tottenham.
However, you’d think that a Tottenham bid for Orban would be too good to pass up.
While Lille would most likely provide more starts, Tottenham should provide Orban with a significant role.
Richarlison has struggled in the first two league games, and Ange Postecoglou is known for nurturing young players.
Tottenham already appears to be a different club than in recent years.
Under Postecoglou, the club has a fresh energy and life, and it appears to be a great place to play football once again.
And if Orban decides that Tottenham‘s vision isn’t for him, it could be a mistake he comes to regret.
Spurs appear to be at the start of something spectacular, and whomever becomes their new striker will have a great foundation to thrive.
