Bundesliga club Hoffenheim has secured the signing of Nigerian forward Gift Orban for €9 million ($9.2 million), French club Lyon confirmed on Thursday.
The 22-year-old’s stint at Lyon came to an end after falling out of favour following his move from Belgian side Gent a year ago.
Orban managed five goals in 21 appearances for Lyon but had not made a league appearance since September.
“We wish Gift well in his new adventure,” Lyon said.
Hoffenheim said Orban would offer their forward line greater width and speed.
“In Gift Orban we have found exactly the fast striker… that we were looking for,” Hoffenheim director Andreas Schicker said.
“We are convinced that his skills will give our team greater variety in attack.”
