The Wonderkid from Nowhere

In a world where every player at every club is scouted extensively from the age of 10, it feels impossible for a potential superstar, a bonafide wonderkid, to emerge from nothing to European stardom in less than a year. But that is exactly what is happening in Belgium and it’s a story so riddled with fortune and timing you can’t help but wonder who else may have slipped through the cracks.
This kid is scoring goals at a Haaland-like pace and recently set the record for the fastest hat trick in European club competition history. A year ago, he was an amateur in a place so far off the radar of international scouting that it is impossible to find on Google. And Google knows everything. So if Google can’t find it, it certainly is not real.
Much Love,
The Zealand

Really enjoying the news/story video's, Zealand. I've been a long-time local fan of Ghent and the only time I'd seen someone as prolific as Gift on the pitch was when we had Jonathan David through our ranks. The crazy thing being that David took multiple years, also in our youth setups, to find his scoring boots for Ghent. Gift had barely touched the ball and he was already Ghent's most valuable star/prospect. Our club's been going through a tough time the past few years, but the buzz around Gift makes us hopeful for the future. Thanks for covering this!

Togo is a reeeeally poorly developed country. It's basically a single strip of land with a road that goes all the way deep into the country and then it ends. The capital is the port city and there's some mapped settlements around the big road, the rest are small villages spread around the rest of that strip. The anthem of the country doesn't say something like "defend the nation" it says "brave togolese let's defend the CITY". Freaking wild.

Such a great video , from the research to the editing, top, top video bro. I pray chelsea go all in on this guy. I too have been keeping track on him and man everytime I check Belgium league scores and stuff I’m like bro this dude scored AGAIN?? Man he’s so impressive and what you said about his mentality and being like ronaldo where he knows where he wants the ball at his feet and that he gets mad when he doesn’t get it, but in a good way(think of that how you will) is so good to hear and I think he’s got IT. Oh man I’ve got a great feeling abt this. Would love to see chelsea play that 4-1-2-1-2 under poch and have guys like broja, fofana, nkunku, and gift all fight for places up top with mudryk maybe dropping into the freeroaming 10 role. Mac allister seems to be heavily wanted by chels too so he fits at RCM as that creative box to box mid, then whoever we get for 6 role, and Enzo at the left. Or mac could be LCM, doesn’t matter. I think it’s absolutely perfect for how we will set up under poch and he fits his tactics too. So many good young strikers out here nowadays and we’ve got 2-3 of them already. Hope we add this guy in and have all of them fighting and hungry for places, as the 2 striker formation should be able to fit all of them and their different ways of playing. It compliments everyone !

That's the mark of a great striker imo, because despite them potentially having a poor game they might pop up with a goal. Look at Osimhen, Lewandowski, Kane and most other great strikers from the past 5-10 years and they all share the trait of shooting a lot. The best strikers in the world miss the most chances.

Great job, informative and funny, subbed. SPURS SIGN GIFT ASAPPPP. I watched his goals, this man is going to be a star, like elite level star, guaranteed. As he can finish on both feet with power. This alone is extremely rare, so rare I can't think of many players I've ever seen that can even do it. Kane is one and Son to a lesser extent.

Woohoo, Westerlo mentioned on a Zealand video! Gift Orban is a mad player though, had no clue who he was when he played us but completely ran our defense ragged. And he just keeps doing it week after week.

As a huge Gent fan for my entire life, 3 months after this video, I'm sad to see him go to Tottenham, even though this is best for his bright future. He joined in the later half of the 22-23 season, which wasn't enough to put Gent in the playoffs this year, even though we were winning nearly everything with him. Thanks Orban for taking us on one hell of a ride, even if it was short lived

what, in my opinion, strongly indicates future success is his mentality. how many players have we seen have a sudden rise and let it get to their head. he went from Togo to Norway. that could have made him complacent. then he went from the 2nd team to the first team. THAT could have made him complacent. Then he moves to a much harder league and dominates. it’s crazy to see someone maintain this level

He was a 'gift' for our competition, he's very enthousiastic, really behaves like a raw diamond, enjoying every moment. He was angry put on the bench to rest for one game though, and hen he came on and scored (of course), he didn't really celebrate and ignored his coach completely after the game. So the statement of professionalism is not accurate at this moment ;) But he feels genuine, it's very rare to see such a raw diamond on every level, and everybody loves him because of that.
