Tottenham is interested in signing €26m who could instantly replace their outbound superstar

Tottenham Hotspur must now move quickly in the aftermath of the terrible news about star Harry Kane that surfaced late last night…

Who will take Kane’s place at Tottenham?

While it almost seemed inevitable, there was a glimmer of optimism when numerous news outlets reported that Kane was leaning toward staying in north London despite a monetary agreement with Bayern Munich.

However, just before midnight, David Ornstein said that there had been a breakthrough in negotiations between the England captain and the German giants, with the 30-year-old now entitled to complete his medical in Germany.

Thus ends an incredible 19-year career in N17, where he burst into the forefront, scored goals for fun, but was never rewarded with trophies. The latter failure is most likely what pushed such a move forward. A replacement is now desperately needed.

Fortunately, Spurs’ contingency plan had already been reported on Twitter by journalist Ignazio Genuardi, who revealed that Spurs are preparing a bid for Gent starlet Gift Orban for around €30 million (£26 million).

“Once the file is finalized,” he said, “the Spurs have notably planned to make an offer for Orban de La Gantoise (between 25 and 30 M €)…”

How talented is Gift Orban?

Despite his young age of 21, the Nigerian marksman has been lighting up Belgian football with his rapid pace and clinical finishing that few can equal.

With five goals in three games to begin the season, the Nigerian appears poised to break his previous season’s record of 22 goals in the same number of games.

What makes this even more remarkable is that such a spectacular goalscoring term was only the second of his professional career, indicating that the sky is truly the limit for the amazing speedster.

Because of his form, Football Talent Scout Jacek Kulig attempted to brand him “the gift from Gods” back in July.

While replicating Kane’s goals with one individual is certainly difficult, the club might instead go all-in on Ange Postecoglou, totally believing in their new manager whose play style is set to ensure plenty of chances.

As a result, Orban’s presence may alleviate some of the burden that filling these goalscoring boots may bring, instead depending on him to uphold the head coach’s ideology rather than acting as the lone starring option.

While at Celtic, the 57-year-old used Kyogo Furuhashi as his number nine, who had 15 goals in 21 J1 League games before leaving Japan for Scotland.

Postecoglou recognized his great scoring record, but chose to focus on other strengths, using the 5’7 finisher as a spearhead for his high-octane press and forcing the forward to run channels and spread the play with his quickness. In the end, he not only laid the groundwork for the team’s unrivaled success, but he also scored a slew of goals.

This is further emphasized by his touches per game in the Scottish Premiership last season, where he averaged just 13.3. In comparison, Kane averaged 38.8 touches per game in the Premier League, frequently dropping deep to join play.

With his quickness and persistent work ethic – ex-Celtic man John Collins lauded him for the way “he hounds defences” – the 28-year-old has 55 goals in 84 games for the Hoops.

The former Vissel Kobe man’s ability to stretch a defense is a crucial part of his game, with Postecoglou praising his mobility as “the best” he had ever seen, and young Orban has also been lauded by Kulig for his “killer instinct & fantastic off-the-ball movement in the final third.”

Despite being only 47 goals short of equaling the all-time Premier League scoring record, Kane is less likely to burst in behind or be content to operate solely at the top of the pitch, ranking in the bottom 33% of his European peers for touches in the attacking penalty area per 90 and progressive passes received per 90.

The leaving marksman would have thrived within the system, but it might be argued that his presence would have hampered its overall performance, which his murderous nature would have more than compensated for.

However, if Orban is substituted, the 5 foot 10 ace could present a better option in stature and goalscoring, more akin to Furuhashi. Against all chances, the teenager may be a better fit for Postecoglou than Kane, as the Greek-Aussie attempts to emulate his success in Glasgow.
