While the past weeks and months have mostly been about the phenomenal goal-scoring prowess of Victor Osimhen in Serie A with Napoli, another Nigerian has emerged completely out of the blue in Belgium-based Gift Orban.
The 20-year-old grabbed the headlines last weekend as he scored four goals in KAA Gent’s hammering of Zulte-Waregem.
While critics may want to say it could be a flash in the pan, the booming rise of Orban suggests otherwise, as he looks set to follow in the footsteps of many great Nigerian players who used the Belgian league as a launching pad to global relevance.
