Hot in demand Nigerian striker Gift Orban is yet to make up his mind on joining English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur despite reports saying they are the obvious for his signing, OwnGoalNigeria.comreports.
Gent wants €30m for the forward who scored 22 goals at the club following his January move, which went through on the final day of the window. His form has led to interest in his services.
Spurs are seen as the one team who can comfortably afford the 21 year old and are in talks over a deal as part of their search for a replacement for their captain Harry Kane, who moved to German giants Bayern Munich.
The player’s camp are not opposed to the move but sources say their is a concern on if he will get regular run of games to further develop and possibly break into the first team of the senior national team of Nigeria.
To that extent, Sevilla are now seen as the team he is more likely to join because there is a huge chance of getting a lot of games at the club than at Spurs. Furthermore the pressing on him will be less than what he will face at Spurs in the light of the fact that he will be replacing a club icon.
Meanwhile, the widely reported agreement to join Monaco has been termed as false by his camp, a source said despite the fact that he is on their wishlist they haven’t firmed up their interest with a bid yet.
