Gift Orban set for loan switch to Turkish club Amedspor
Gift Orban, currently with Hoffenheim, is close to joining Turkish side Amedspor on loan. The Nigerian striker spent last season at Hellas Verona, where he was the club’s top scorer despite a late dip in form. Hoffenheim reportedly have no plans for Orban in the upcoming season, paving the way for his move. The deal with Amedspor is said to include a loan fee and an obligation to buy if certain conditions are met.
