Turkish Super Lig champions Galatasaray have expressed interest in signing Lyon forward Gift Orban, according to reports from Fanatik.

The club is in the market for a striker following Mauro Icardi’s season-ending ACL injury, sustained just before the international break.

Orban, 22, has caught the attention of Galatasaray’s management, who view him as a strong candidate to fill the void left by the former Argentina international.

The Nigerian forward joined Lyon in January from Belgian Pro League side KAA Gent. Since his arrival in France, Orban has made five appearances for Lyon, scoring twice.

Galatasaray’s pursuit of Orban highlights their determination to maintain their attacking firepower as they navigate the rest of the season without their star striker.
