This guy looks a very useful player. Nigeria seems to be producing good attackers.. we now need some defenders to step up
Gift Orban just scored a hatrick in the conference league….. very clinical goals and a perfect hatrick at that…..left right head….. this guy is on another level and he could worth more than 100mil if he scores like this in a Top5 league.
