“Remember this name,” writes the Belgian Gent on social networks, who are in awe of the gala performance of the 20-year-old Nigerian Orban. The 20-year-old footballer, who only came to the club in January and Gent paid 3 million dollars for him, is already paying off. On however, Turkish Basaksehir would like to forget his name, who are packing from the round of 16 of the European Conference League because of his drive.
The work of destruction was precisely a talented young man who was doing well in Istanbul. But in what way! After half an hour of play, he made it three times and his hat trick in 3 minutes and 24 seconds also went down in the history of European cups. Gent came through once again at the end of the half, winning 4-1 on aggregate and looking forward to progressing to the quarter-finals of the European Conference League.

But the already mentioned Orban, who confirmed the foreshadowing of one of the biggest talents in contemporary football, attracted much more attention. In addition, Mohamed Salah’s less than a year-old record, which was achieved three times in the space of six minutes, slipped to the second place for the fastest hat-tricks in European cups. The new record holder managed to beat him by almost half the playing time.

Even the fans can’t get enough of him and after a good performance they gave him a bow. “Sir, it’s a player! He has a big future ahead of him,” wrote one user on Twitter. “The Nigerian is a pure killer in front of goal. A footballer who doesn’t need much to score a goal: he’s quick, crafty and a great finisher. Unreal!” followed by another.
Many experts see it as a hugely valued treasure, the value of which will increase even more in the coming months and years. After all, there is nothing to be surprised about. So far, he has played in nine games for Gent and made his mark twelve times. If he continues these performances, it will be very difficult for the elite team in the Belgian top flight to keep him in the summer.
