Olympique Lyon have completed the signing of Nigerian striker Gift Orban for €13m. The striker joins the French club from Gent until 2028 after completing his medical yesterday.
The Nigerian attacker has enjoyed an extraordinary rise since joining Norwegian club Stabæk Fotball back in 2022 from Bison FC, a club in Nigeria. In his first and only season there, he scored 19 goals and gave seven assists in just 24 appearances, drawing the attention of KVV Gent who signed him last winter for €3.3 million.
His form didn’t stop there, as in his first half-season in Belgium he proved to be unstoppable for every defence he faced, scoring 20 goals in 22 appearances, including a hat-trick in the Conference League against Basaksehir FK.
The 21-year-old has scored 20 goals with eight assists in 30 games in all competitions for Gent this season.
