Gift Orban reminds fans of his presence
Orban's transition from the Belgian Jupiler Pro League to France's Ligue 1 has not been as smooth as many had anticipated.
With just three goals in 16 appearances for Lyon, the young forward's form has dipped considerably compared to his impressive tally of 32 goals and two assists in 52 matches for Gent.

This downturn in form has seen Orban slip from the radar of many football fans, including followers of the Nigerian national team, the Super Eagles.
However, the striker seems determined to remind everyone of his potential and work ethic.

Recently, Orban shared a series of photographs on his social media platforms, showcasing his commitment to maintaining peak physical condition.
The images depict the young talent engaged in private training sessions, both in the gym and on the pitch, suggesting he's putting in extra work to regain his goal-scoring touch.
Interestingly, Orban also included pictures of himself enjoying some downtime at the beach, perhaps hinting at a balanced approach to his professional life and personal well-being.
This social media activity appears to be a calculated move by Orban to refresh the memories of fans, pundits, and potentially national team selectors.

It serves as a reminder of the explosive talent that took the Belgian league by storm and earned him a move to one of France's biggest clubs.
As Orban continues to adapt to the demands of Ligue 1, these latest posts suggest he's not content to fade into obscurity.
The young Nigerian seems determined to recapture the form that once had him labelled as one of African football's most exciting prospects.
With the football world always on the lookout for the next big story, Orban's social media reminder might just be the prelude to his resurgence on the pitch.

Football fans, especially Nigerians, will be watching closely to see if this off-field statement translates into on-field success for the talented striker.
