Nigeria striker Gift Orban is closing in on a move to Turkey, with newly promoted Turkish Super Lig club Amedspor set to sign him on a season long loan from Bundesliga side TSG Hoffenheim.
According to reports from Turkey, Amedspor have reached an agreement with both Hoffenheim and the player over a loan deal that includes an option to make the move permanent. Orban is expected to travel to Turkey to sign his contract and undergo a medical, with Amedspor covering his full salary for the duration of the loan.
The move continues what has been a well travelled career for the 24 year old. Orban spent last season on loan at Serie A side Hellas Verona, who chose not to exercise their option to sign him permanently despite a productive campaign in which he scored seven goals and provided two assists in 28 league appearances.
He now heads to his fourth different European country, having previously played in Norway, Belgium, and France before joining Hoffenheim.
Amedspor, nicknamed the People’s Team, secured promotion to the Turkish Super Lig for the first time in the club’s history last season, marking a major milestone after years spent in Turkey’s lower divisions. The club play their home matches at the 33,000-capacity Diyarbakir Stadium.
