Gift Orban is turning heads across Europe with his excellent showings, and Milan are taking notice. Gent signed him for cheap from Stabaek last summer and will easily turn a profit on him. The Rossoneri plan to re-up with Olivier Giroud but long to sign a young pure no.9 as well, Tuttomercatoweb informs.
While their loftiest targets are Lille’s Jonathan David and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko, director Geoffrey Moncada is tracking a few talents as well. The 21-year-old isn’t an old-fashioned bruiser but is physical regardless. Plus, he’s fast and has a superb nose for the goal.
Milan would need to act quickly to get Orban at a reasonable price considering his upward trajectory and the competition. Gent invested €3.3M to acquire him from Norway in the summer. He has recorded 6 goals in 14 appearances so far.
The forward got his start at Bison FC before moving to Europe. He has yet to be called up by Nigeria, which has several high-profile forwards, such as Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface, and Nice’s Terem Moffi.
Our Take on Milan and Orban
Their search for a new marksman will be a hot topic next summer. They are surely casting a wide net to find the right one. However, it also hinges on how Olivier Giroud holds up and his future and how Noah Okafor adapts to the role.
