KAA Gent striker Gift Orban has said that he would prefer to move to Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool and does not fancy joining Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal.

Gift Orban has told Het Laatste Nieuws that he does not think that Arsenal are equipped to win major titles, saying that he would prefer moving to Liverpool or Manchester United.

The KAA Gent striker has been linked with Leeds United and Leicester City.

Orban said when asked what his craziest football dream is, as translated by SportWitness: “Playing in a big league. At a club where I feel comfortable AND where I play. The Premier League is my ultimate dream. Manchester United, Liverpool or Manchester City (laughs).

“I don’t really like Arsenal that much – it’s like they don’t want to win titles. They play and sell players – that’s it.

“I want to go somewhere where they win prizes. At Real Madrid they don’t have time for tiki-taka, there they just grab titles.”

Liverpool or Arsenal unlikely to go for Gift Orban

In our view, Arsenal or Liverpool are unlikely to make any concrete attempts to sign Gift Orban from KAA Gent in the summer transfer window.

While Orban is a very good striker, he is playing in a modest domestic league and is a very young.

The Nigerian is just 20 years of age.

Liverpool do not need to sign a new striker in the summer transfer window.

After all, Egyptian forward Mohamed Salah is banging in the goals for fun for the former Premier League and UEFA Champions League winners.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp also had Cody Gakpo, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez at his disposal.

With so many forward players in the squad, we do not think that Liverpool will try to sign another one, especially someone who is only 20.

As for Arsenal, Gabriel Jesus is the number one striker.

If the North London club do try to sign a new striker in the summer transfer window, then they are going to make a move for a world-class player who will be able to make an immediate impact at the Emirates Stadium.
