Gift Orban competes with Bournemouth winger and 8 others for CAF men's Young POTY

Posted : 01 November 2023
Gift Orban, who received a call-up to the 2023 Super Eagles, is now a nominee for the CAF men's Young Player of the Year award, marking a first in his career.

He shares the nomination with Bournemouth winger Dango Ouattara, former Barcelona forward Abdessamad Ezzalzouli, and seven other talented players.

The ten-player shortlist also features Souleymane Alio (New Stars FC/Burkina Faso), Ernest Nuamah (Lyon/Ghana), Bilal El Khannouss (Genk/Morocco), and a quartet of Senegalese talents: Lamine Camara (Metz), Papa Amadou Diallo (Metz), Pape Diop (Zulte Waregem), and Amara Diouf (Génération Foot).

Orban's nomination comes as recognition of his impressive goal-scoring performance, which has garnered interest from top European clubs. Despite being relatively unknown until his move to Gent in the Jupiler Pro League in January, the 21-year-old has since made a name for himself.

As a diminutive center forward, Orban has scored 27 goals and provided two assists in 38 games for the Belgian side since his debut in February. Notably, he etched his name in the UEFA history books by achieving the fastest hat-trick ever recorded in any European competition during a match against Istanbul Basaksehir.

Although his recent form has dipped, it's no surprise to see him on the prestigious nomination list.
