It has been revealed that several Bundesliga clubs were interested in signing Gift Orban with the hope he could shine like Victor Boniface has done with Bayer Leverkusen.
Both Gift Orban and Victor Boniface have the same agent – Atta Aneke.
Victor Boniface has taken the Bundesliga by storm this season after his summer transfer from Belgian club Union St.Gilloise.
One of the Bundesliga clubs keen to sign Gift Orban was Eintracht Frankfurt.
Gift Orban shares the same career path with Boniface – Nigeria to Norway and then Belgium.
However, the 21-year-old striker is expected in the next few hours to complete a transfer to Lyon in the French Ligue 1 and so end in interests from the Bundesliga.
Both Gent and Lyon have agreed on the transfer and Gift Orban will sign a contract until 2028.
