‘I don’t really like Arsenal that much’ – free-scoring striker claims he’d prefer Manchester United transfer
Gift Orban has implied that he would prefer a transfer to Old Trafford rather than joining Arsenal. The talented Nigerian striker has attracted attention this season by scoring an impressive 19 goals in 19 games for Gent, a top-tier team in Belgium.
His notable performance includes a remarkable hat-trick in the Europa Conference League, leading to him taking home the match ball on three occasions during the season.
According to reports, Manchester United has allegedly dispatched scouts to observe the 20-year-old forward, as have Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, and Fulham. Erik ten Hag, the manager of Manchester United, is reportedly seeking to bolster his team’s attacking options during the upcoming summer transfer window, and he has shortlisted players such as Harry Kane, Goncalo Ramos, and Victor Osimhen.
However, if interest in Gift Orban becomes concrete, United would feel confident about their chances, considering the remarks he made to Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws.
“Playing in a big league,” he told the newspaper when asked what his ‘craziest football dream’ is. “At a club where I feel comfortable and where I play. The Premier League is my ultimate dream: Manchester United, Liverpool or Manchester City.
“I don’t really like Arsenal that much – it’s like they don’t want to win titles. They play and sell players – that’s it. I want to go somewhere where they win prizes. At Real Madrid they don’t have time for tiki-taka, there they just grab titles.”
