Ligue 1: Lyon set to send Gift Orban on loan

Olympique Lyon is considering loaning out Gift Orban for the 2024/25 season. Orban joined the former Ligue 1 champions in January but has struggled to make an impact at the club.

 

Reports from France indicate that two clubs are interested in acquiring the striker on loan. One offer comes from the Brazilian club Botafogo, which may not be attractive to Orban.

 

The second offer is from Major League Soccer’s Colorado Rapids. This move might be more appealing to Orban due to his English-speaking background, which could provide a more comfortable environment.

Orban was invited for one of the Super Eagles World Cup qualifiers but couldn’t play as he cropped an injury in training.

 

The Nigerian was only able to record just a single goal for Lyon since joining in January.
