Several reports: Hoffenheim set to sign Orban

If all goes according to plan, the Nigerian striker will join Hoffenheim on a permanent basis for a fee of around €9 million, according to Sky and Kicker.

Expectations were high when Orban joined Lyon from Belgian side KAA Gent for a reported €14 million about a year ago, but the 22-year-old has fallen out of favor at the French club.
