With Tottenham Hotspur chasing KAA Gent striker Gift Orban, it seems the Belgian side are just getting prepared for his exit.
Outlet Voetbal Nieuws today features a story claiming that club manager Hein Vanhaezebrouck realises the transfer is going to end up in an ‘inevitable departure’.
That’s the reason why Orban was left on the bench in Genk’s recent matches, as the club want to give his potential replacements some minutes with the team already.
The Belgian side are said to be aiming for a sale of at least €30m, as they hope to hit the ‘jackpot’ with the transfer.
Tottenham are said to be ‘increasingly pressing’ for the transfer, even though it isn’t yet said if they’re ready to meet those requests.
The season has barely started and Orban already has five goals in four matches for Genk.
That makes him an obvious target for many clubs, especially for Tottenham, who now engage in a very hot pursuit of a name to replace Harry Kane.
Even though it’s already been said Spurs were planning their bid for Orban, it seems that hasn’t been delivered yet.
