Nigerian striker Gift Orban has completed his transfer to French Ligue 1 club Olympique Lyon from Gent.
Lyon confirmed the signing of Orban on their X handle.
Orban’s transfer is a historic one as he becomes the first-ever Nigerian to join Lyon.
“First player from Nigeria to wear our colors,” the club said.

It is believed the contract is worth €13m and is valid until June 2028.
Also, the transfer fee could rise to €20 million with add-ons, and a 20% sell-on clause.
Lyon are not in the best of forms currently as they are in 16th place in the 18-team league table.
The seven-time Ligue 1 champions have only managed four wins from their 18 league games played this season.
This season, Orban only scored three goals in 17 appearances in the Belgian league.
