Super Eagles’ Gift Orban is set to rejig his football career with his stellar performances that caught the interest of top European teams.
The Nigerian could leave his French Ligue 1 team, Olympique Lyonnais in the January transfer window after a difficult start to life at the Groupama Stadium.
Recall Orban cost Les Gones a fee in the region of €15m from Gent in the summer. But with Olympique Lyonnais’s financial situation, which could warrant the DNCG to announce an administrative relegation to Ligue 2, with a financial debt rose from €458 million to €508 million.
Some top players have been placed on the transfer market.
According to Vibes Foot: “The two players that OL would sell as a priority this winter transfer window are Gift Orban (Nigeria) and Saïd Benrahma (Algeria).
Orban has found himself low in the attacking pecking order at Lyon, with Georges Mikautadze and Alexandre Lacazette both ahead of him, limiting his playing time.
