It is very strange — Gent boss opens up on Gift Orban's recent struggles
KAA Gent manager, Hein Vanhaezebrouck has explained the recent downturn in form for star striker Gift Orban ahead of the clash with Maccabi Tel Aviv.
The Rossoneris already signed Samuel Chukwueze and Nigerian-born Switzerland international Noah Okafor in the summer. However, they have now turned their attention to Gent striker Gift Orban to bolster their attacking options.
Although Gift Orban is having a poor season so far by his standards, he has already found the back of the net 6 times in 14 games in the European Conference League and the Belgian top division.
Who is Gift Orban?
21-year-old Gift Orban burst into the limelight after grabbing headlines in the Belgian top division, where he netted 20 goals in 22 matches in all competitions in his first season with Gent.
Before his switch to Belgium, Gift Orban notched an impressive 19 goals in 24 appearances across all competitions for Norwegian second-division club Stabaek, helping them to gain promotion to the top flight.
Moreover, his rich vein of form was too good for Super Eagles coach Jose Peseiro to ignore, prompting him to hand Orban a first call-up to the national team for the AFCON qualifier against Sao Tome and Principe. Sadly, an injury picked up in training prevented him from winning his first senior cap.

Fulham have reportedly entered the race to sign Gent's goalscoring sensation Gift Orban
Gift Orban’s impressive form in front of goal saw the likes of Tottenham Hotspur and Fulham attempt to poach the youngster to the Premier League, with the former looking to plug the gaps left by England captain Harry Kane, who joined Bayern Munich.
However, none of the moves materialised, and Gift Orban remains in Belgium with Gent seeking more league success and European glory.
Other AC Milan targets aside Gift Orban
Italian side AC Milan who are preparing for life without the services of striker Olivier Giroud have lined up options to replace the Frenchman.
Chief scout Geoffrey Moncada and D'Ottavio have on their radar Mehdi Taremi and Jonathan David alongside Gift Orban.
AC Milan currently occupy top spot in Serie A, having won seven and drawn once in eight games so far.
