Nigerian striker Gift Orban continued his impressive scoring run in the Turkish Super Lig after producing a hat-trick to take his league tally to six goals in just five appearances.
The forward’s latest goalscoring display has seen him equal the number of Super Lig goals recorded by fellow Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen during the same number of games.
Orban has quickly established himself as one of the standout Nigerian attackers in the Turkish top flight, with his recent performances highlighting his growing influence in front of goal.
His hat-trick further strengthened his remarkable start to the campaign, taking his total to six goals across five league outings.
The achievement also places Orban alongside Osimhen, who previously enjoyed a prolific spell in the Turkish league and became one of the division’s most feared forwards.
Orban’s current scoring rate has attracted considerable attention, particularly among Nigerian football supporters who are closely following the performances of the country’s attacking talents abroad.
The striker has demonstrated an impressive combination of pace, movement and finishing ability, making him a constant threat to opposing defences.
With his latest three-goal performance, Orban will be hoping to maintain his momentum and continue climbing the Super Lig scoring charts as the season progresses.
His form could also strengthen his case for greater involvement with the Nigerian national team as the Super Eagles continue to assess their attacking options.
For now, Orban’s six goals in five league matches represent a remarkable start and have placed him in the same statistical territory as Osimhen during his own Super Lig camp
