After weeks of speculation, the Nigeria striker has joined the Bundesliga outfit on a permanent deal. Orban signed a four-year deal to join Hoffenheim from Olympique Lyonnais.

"In Gift Orban, we have found exactly the fast striker with good depth that we were looking for," said Andreas Schicker, Managing Director of Sport at TSG, as quoted by the club's official website.

"Gift has repeatedly demonstrated his goal threat and his joy of playing in his previous positions, so we are convinced that his skills will give our team greater variability in attack."

The 22-year-old began his career in Nigeria with Bison FC before moving to Norway, where he starred for FC Stabaek. In his loan spell at the club, he netted 16 goals in 22 matches and was named the Young Player of the Season.

His outstanding performances earned him a move to Belgium to join KAA Gent. It was at Gent that the young forward gained global attention, scoring one of the quickest hat-tricks in European football. He scored 32 goals in 52 appearances for Gent across all competitions before Lyon came calling.

Orban had to leave Lyon as part of the club's restructuring due to financial troubles.
