Nigerian sensation striker Gift Orban has revealed his ambition to play in the Premier League but admits he still has a lot to improve on to achieve his dream move to the English topflight.
The 20-year-old joined Gent from Norwegian second-tier club Stabaek in January and is proving to be a huge bargain for his Belgian Jupiler League club as he continues to find the back of the net since his brace scoring debut.
On Sunday, Orban became the only Gent player to score four goals in a Jupiler League this century after his haul for Gent in their 6-2 demolition of Waregem, taking his season tally to nine goals in eight outings in all competitions.
