Hoffenheim’s sporting director, Andreas Shicker is expecting big things from new signing Gift Orban.
Orban recently connected to the Bundesliga Club of Ligue 1 Olympic Lyon.
The Nigerian foreigner signed a contract until 2029.
Schicker is hopeful the energetic forward will hit the ground running at the club as soon as possible.
»Gift Orban made his last start against us in the Europa League. The days before the game against Wolfsburg will do him good,” Schicker said on the club’s official website.
“But he has a good physique, a good feeling for depth and is very quick to start. Gift also brings a certain goal threat.
“He showed what quality he has during his time at KAA Gent. And if you break down his goal ratio at Lyon into minutes, it is also extremely good.
“A year ago we would not have had a Ghent. It is very important that either of the two players joined us from the beginning.
“They deserve the characteristics temporarily for us. They give us the speed we lacked, especially after Marius Bülter’s injury. “

I hope Gift can reinvent himself at his new club. Everyone has high expectations for their game, but wants to rise to the challenge and remain open to continuous learning.
