Gift Orban is poised to make his competitive debut for TSG Hoffenheim when they face VFL Wolfsburg at the PreZero Arena on Saturday, following his permanent move from Ligue 1 side Olympique Lyon.
The Nigeria international recently completed his switch to the Bundesliga, and already featured in a pre-season friendly, a 3-1 win over Augsburg, though he was unable to find the net on that occasion.
Softfootball gathers that Orban will be eager to make an instant impact in his first competitive outing for the club, having arrived with hopes of reviving his career following a difficult spell in France.
Hoffenheim will be hoping his arrival can help turn around a difficult run of form, having managed just two wins in their last ten league matches heading into the new year.
Wolfsburg, by contrast, arrive in far better shape, having picked up five wins, two draws, and three defeats over the same period, making Saturday’s clash a stern early test for the Nigerian.
