Tottenham Hotspur reportedly want to sign Gift Orban as a potential replacement for Harry Kane at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

According to The Athletic, Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Gift Orban from Gent in the summer transfer window.

The report has claimed that Tottenham scouts have been hugely impressed by Orban, especially with his finishing ability.

Spurs reportedly believe that they could be able to sign the 21-year-old striker for £20m plus add-ons.

Harry Kane has left Tottenham and has moved to Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich.

Tottenham Hotspur should have patience with Gift Orban

In our opinion, Tottenham Hotspur should be patient with Gift Orban and should not expect him to do great things right away.

After all, Orban is only 21 and is playing in the Belgian league at the moment.

We cannot expect the Nigerian striker to come straight to England and hit the ground running in the Premier League.

And let us not forget that Orban would not have had any pre-season with Tottenham.

Spurs have to be patient with Orban.

The North London club should not expect the striker to hit the numbers that Harry Kane had done for years.

One thing is for sure, though.

Orban does have a lot of potential.

Andre Stromnes, sports journalist at Budstikka, has described the Nigerian striker as “an explosive, creative killer”.

The striker scored 20 goals and gave two assists in all competitions last season.

Tottenham are aiming to finish in the top four of the Premier League table this season.
