Manchester United were reportedly among the clubs to express interest in signing €30 million-rated Gent striker Gift Orban, who missed out on a summer move to Tottenham this past summer.
That’s according to a report from Het Laatste Nieuws (via Sport Witness), which reveals that Tottenham Hotspur scouts were convinced that Gift Orban was a great investment for the north London outfit but were “scared off” the idea of signing him due to the hefty €30 million price tag slapped on his proverbial head by Gent.
When Bayern Munich splashed the cash to secure the services of Harry Kane this past summer, it marked the end of an era at Tottenham as they lost a legendary striker. Having spearheaded the Spurs attack exceptionally for almost a decade, the 30-year-old departed his boyhood club as their all-time top scorer with a whopping 280 goals.
As soon as it became clear that Kane was heading to Munich, a raft of replacement signings were linked with the club. Gent’s Gift Orban appeared to be a more concrete target than the others on the Lilywhites radar.
