Tottenham Hotspur are ‘seriously interested’ in Gift Orban and a move for the Gent star could develop ‘in the next days’, but journalist Rudy Galetti has told GIVEMESPORT there is a potential stumbling block at Hotspur Way.
Having sold Harry Kane to reigning Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich in a deal worth £100million last week, Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou is scouring the market for reinforcements ahead of the September 1 transfer deadline.
Tottenham transfer news – Gift Orban
According to Football Insider, Tottenham have set their sights on landing Orban after he has blown scouts away with his performances in a Gent shirt.The report suggests the north Londoners are targeting the striker as he has bags of potential and there is confidence that could help to fill the void left by Kane, who scored 280 goals for Spurs.Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano recently told GIVEMESPORT that Orban is keen to seal a switch to the Premier League, which could play into Tottenham’s hands as they attempt to get the deal over the line.The Nigerian has made a prolific start to the season, finding the back of the net five times in as many games, and it has led to Tottenham holding discussions with Gent over a move through intermediaries.It is understood that Spurs are readying a bid for Orban as they want to test his current employers’ resolve before the summer window slams shut on September 1.The 21-year-old has found the back of the net 25 times and contributed a further two assists in 27 appearances for the Jupiler Pro League outfit.
What has Rudy Galetti said about Orban?Galetti understands that Tottenham are keen to soften the blow of seeing talisman Kane head to Bayern by recruiting Orban.But the Italian journalist believes Gent’s demands could prove to be a sticking point as they are seeking up to £30million and refusing to lower their valuation.Galetti told GIVEMESPORT: “Tottenham are seriously interested in Gift Orban. They are targeting him as one of the possible replacements for Harry Kane.“After approaching the representatives of the striker, the pace of a potential deal is a little bit slow. Spurs, in fact, want to negotiate a fair price with Gent, but the Belgian club seem to be quite adamant in their position for the Nigerian player.”The Belgian club already set the price for Gift Orban at around €30million or €35million. The price is considered a bit high by Tottenham.“Gent, today, don’t want to lower their request. They are still in talks, so let’s wait for the developments, which are expected in the next days.”
