For Orban, they had some contacts on the player\u2019s side. They pursued the player and had positive contacts because Orban is keen on a potential move to Premier League football and an important club like Tottenham. But, at the moment, there is still no official bid.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/08\/24\/tottenham-offer-brennan-johnson-swap-deal-nottingham-forest\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tottenham Line Up Offer for Brennan Johnson Signing<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">With this latest update from Romano, it is confirmed that they are interested in signing both the young strikers but have not made an official bid for either.

Orban is a clinical, menacing forward who is an impressive finisher. The Nigerian forward has already scored six goals in seven appearances for Gent in the 2023\/24 campaign and has 26 goals in 29 appearances for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2023\/08\/19\/sergio-reguilon-targeted-by-real-sociedad\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Real Sociedad Leading Candidate for Sergio Reguilon Transfer<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">David has also been making strides in Ligue 1 with Lille. He is a similar kind of goal-scorer to Orban, having scored 26 goals in 40 appearances last season for the French side. Both the young forwards have their best years ahead and can easily slot into the no.9 role under Ange Postecoglou, which is why Tottenham are eyeing the possibility of signing either of them to be their next star striker. It remains to be seen if the Lilywhites will make a move for either before the transfer window closes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Main Image Credit:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/w\/index.php?curid=129680845\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Acabashi<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8211;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-sa\/4.0\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">CC BY-SA 4.0<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tottenham Hotspur are yet to find their replacement for Harry Kane, who left for Bayern Munich earlier in the transfer window &#8211; but it appears that the club have started to make moves and have identified Gift Orban and Jonathan David as two options to replace their recently departed star striker.
