Spurs: Lilywhites receive Kane replacement boost
Ange Postecoglou could yet get his replacement for Harry Kane…
Following the exit of Harry Kane, Tottenham Hotspur have been left without a natural goal scorer and are running out of time to find a replacement, with the summer transfer window coming to an end in just over a week.
The Lilywhites have, however, received a boost in their pursuit of KAA Gent forward Gift Orban, according to reports.
What’s the latest on Gift Orban to Tottenham Hotspur?
It was previously reported that Spurs scouts were left blown away by Orban, and believe that the forward is the key man to replace Kane this summer. Now, the North London club have received another positive boost in the saga.
According to Het Nieuwsblad, via Sport Witness, Gent actually now want to sell their forward to Spurs this summer, and would even prefer to see Orban depart over his teammate Hugo Cuypers.
Given Gent’s reported valuation of just €30m (£33m), too, it’s a deal that Spurs should be able to fund following the sale of Kane to Bayern Munich for a reported £86m this summer.
As things stand, with the end of the transfer window edging closer and closer, Ange Postecoglou remains without a clinical goalscorer, but Orban is certainly one to keep an eye on.
Should Tottenham Hotspur sign Gift Orban?
To say that replacing club-record goalscorer Kane is no easy task would be an incredible understatement. That said, welcoming 21-year-old Orban would go a long way in filling the gaping hole left behind by Spurs’ star man.
