Chelsea and Man Utd ‘send scouts to watch Gent wonderkid Gift Orban but must stump up massive transfer fee’
MANCHESTER UNITED, Chelsea and Tottenham have all sent scouts to watch Gent striker Gift Orban, according to reports.
The 20-year-old lit up the Belgian Pro League and Europa Conference League this season, scoring 20 goals in 20 appearances for Gent.
And according to The Evening Standard, his incredible form has attracted interest from some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs.
United, Chelsea and Spurs are all scouting Orban, who joined Gent from Stabaek in January.
But the Buffalos are reluctant to let him go unless a substantial bid is made.
The striker is also understood to be happy to stay and develop in Belgium.
United and Chelsea have both prioritised signing a striker this summer.
The Red Devils are considering a swoop for Tottenham’s Harry Kane, who has just one year remaining on his current contract.
However, Spurs want £100million for their all-time top goalscorer.
United are also keen on the prospect of signing Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, but they face competition from Chelsea.

Osimhen, who has scored 28 goals in 37 games for the Italian champions this season, comes with a huge £130m price tag.
But Chelsea are said to be hoping to complete a swap deal including Christian Pulisic.
