Tottenham Agree Personal Terms with Orban as Kane’s Replacement
In their search for a replacement for former striker, Harry Kane, English Premier League club, Tottenham have agreed on personal terms with Nigerian striker, Gift Orban, but they are also exploring the option of signing unsettled Chelsea striker, Romelu Lukaku.
Spurs have lost their best striker of all time, Kane to Bayern Munich this summer, making €100million from the sale of the 30-year-old England international and would be looking to get some attacking reinforcements this summer.
Spurs did not look up to par in their first Premier League game of the season against Brentford. Captain Heung-Min Son and Richarlison could not carry the team in Kane’s absence, and they had to settle for a 2-2 draw against the Bees.
Tottenham have been in contact with Gent’s Orban recently, with reports stating that they are willing to play up to €30million for the Nigerian.
According to Goallballive, Spurs have agreed on personal terms with Orban. However, they are stalling on the deal because their first choice is Romelu Lukaku.
The Belgian attacker has been frozen out of Chelsea and will likely leave this summer. As such, he would be a cheaper target for Spurs.
Also, he is a more established player than Orban, who has not played in any of the top five leagues in Europe.
However, buying Lukaku from Chelsea may cost up to €45million.
Spurs need a reliable option in attack following Kane’s departure to Real Madrid, and Orban is one of the options on their list.
