Gift Orban: Why is the Super Eagles and Gent attacker struggling?
A sending-off for Orban last weekend was the latest disappointment for the young striker, who has struggled to hit the heights of his breakthrough season.
The 23-year-old forward has now scored a total of five goals in seven games for Montpellier since signing this summer from Lillestrom, where he scored 15 goals in 15 Eliteserien appearances in the 2023 season.
The Benue-born marksman has shown promising signs of replacing Montpellier’s top scorer from last season, Elyhe Wahi who scored 19 Ligue 1 goals in the 2022/23 campaign before departing for Lens.
If Adams continues banging in the goals, he could become a club icon in no time, and could even be on the plane to Ivory Coast for the 2023 AFCON.
