Fulham join Premier League rival in race to sign Gift Orban

English club, Fulham has joined the race to sign Nigeria and Gent striker Gift Orban.

The 21-year-old has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur as the London club search for a potential replacement for English striker Harry Kane, who left the club to join Bayern Munich two weeks ago.

Orban has raised his profile since he joined Gent for £3.3m from Norwegian club Stabeak in January.

After an impressive 20 goals from 22 games in his first six months at the club, the Nigerian striker has picked up from where left last year with six goals in as many games this new season.

His consistent performance in Belgium has seen him attract interest from several clubs, Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs included.

The North London club has a concrete interest in signing Orban, but no offer has been tabled yet according to Fabrizio Romano.

However, in another latest development, another London club Fulham have identified Orban as a replacement for Aleksandar Mitrovic, who left the club for £52m to join Al Hilal in the Saudi League last week according to Belgian outlet HLN
