Spurs Continue Talks for Gift Orban Following Kane Exit
The departure of Harry Kane to Bayern Munich leaves Spurs with a gaping hole in their forward line. The update from Tavolieri states that talks between Tottenham and Gent are still ongoing, with the North London club having already verbally offered £23.3 million for the Nigerian striker. The update also mentions that the Belgian club want £25.8 million + add-ons for their striker. Tavolieri also teases that a written offer should come next week, which should help move the deal towards an agreement.

Looking for a replacement for Kane will not be easy for Daniel Levy, as they have lost a leader on and off the pitch and the club’s record goalscorer. Son Heung-min has been named as Tottenham’s new captain, as the club now looks to sign a figurehead in attack to replace Kane.
Life After Harry Kane
Tottenham have seemingly been planning for the departure of Kane, according to manager Ange Postecoglu. “But in terms of a striker, again we’ve been planning for this, it’s fair to say, for a while. It doesn’t take too much investigative work to realise that this was going to happen, so we’ve been planning for it to happen anyway. A lot of our business up to now is with that in mind.”

The signings of James Maddison and Manor Soloman will need to help any potential new striker settle by supplying them with goalscoring opportunities. 19-year-old striker Alejo Veliz was signed from Rosario Central for £ 13 million, but it is unclear how quickly he will be integrated into the first team.
What Qualities Orban Would Bring to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium
Orban would be a welcome addition for the Tottenham faithful, who will be hoping the club bring in a new striker. The Nigerian striker has a quality all attackers crave – being in the right place at the right time. His awareness of what’s around him is exceptional, and this often sees him attack crosses and get on the end of through balls.
