Gent coach Hein Vanhaezebrouck: Gift Orban scores for fun

Gent coach Hein Vanhaezebrouck is delighted with the finishing prowess of new striker Gift Orban.

The 20-year-old Nigerian frontman joined the Belgian club from Norwegian side Stabaek in January.

He has already scored seven goals in five Jupiler Pro League ties and two in three Europa Conference League matches for his new team, after scoring 16 goals in 22 OBOS Ligaen games.

Vanhaezebrouck praised Orban, when he said on Voetbal Nieuws: "Last season he made 22 appearances across all competitions in Norway.

"If you let him start the season, he is a guarantee of 20, 25 goals across all competitions.

"Finishing is fun for him. Right, left, he doesn't care."
