Orban at OL, it's official

Gift Orban officially committed to OL this Thursday.

And four! After Lucas Perri, Adryelson and Malick Fofana, Lyon has its fourth winter recruit in the person of Gift Orban.

“ Olympique Lyonnais is pleased to formalize the arrival of Nigerian striker Gift Orban, from La Gantoise, who has signed with the club for a period of 4 and a half seasons, until June 30, 2028. », We can read in a press release from Les Gones.

A transfer of 12 million euros, plus 8 million in potential bonuses and 20% interest on any capital gain on resale.

Arriving in Belgium a year ago, the 21-year-old Nigerian striker played 52 matches there, scoring 32 goals. Losing momentum this season, however, after a thunderous start, the person concerned was quoted between 30 and 40 million euros again this summer.
