  • Nigerian striker Gift Orban has explained that he wants to move to the Premier League
  • The Gent star added that he likes clubs like Manchester City and Manchester United
  • The 20-year-old stressed that he dislikes Arsenal as he gave his reason for doing so

Nigerian striker Gift Orban who currently plays for Belgian club Gent has explained that he would love to play in the Premier League amid reports of him being wanted by Manchester United this summer.

Gift Orban has been one of the best strikers this season in Europe with the Nigerian scoring 19 goals in 19 games in what has been a great term for him so far.

Manchester United will be bolstering their squad this summer with the Red Devils looking for Napoli forward Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen could be hard for Man United chiefs to get, so they have placed Gift Orban as an alternative.

According to the report on Allnigeriansoccer, Gift Orban explained that he likes Manchester United, Man City, and Liverpool and not Arsenal.

Gift Orban dislikes Arsenal

"My ultimate dream is to play in the Premier League. Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City.
"Only Arsenal I don't like – it's like they don't want to win titles. I want to go somewhere where they do."

Arsenal seems to have lost the Premier League title race to Manchester City who now needs only one more win to be crowned champions.

The Gunners would have themselves to blame for losing the title this season.

Man United wants Gift Orban

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Premier League giants Manchester United are reportedly monitoring Nigerian forward, Gift Orban, as a summer transfer option should they miss the signing of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen is reported to be the Red Devils' main target following his impressive outing this term helping Napoli to win the Scudetto after waiting for 33 years.

However, landing Osimhen this summer may be difficult for United considering how other big European clubs are also looking for the signature of the Super Eagles star.

United are looking for a reliable young striker who can help the team for many years and they see Osimhen fitting into that category.
