And according to The Evening Standard, his incredible form has attracted interest from some of the Premier League’s biggest clubs.

United, Chelsea and Spurs are all scouting Orban, who joined Gent from Stabaek in January.

But the Buffalos are reluctant to let him go unless a substantial bid is made.

The striker is also understood to be happy to stay and develop in Belgium.

Man Utd and Chelsea have both prioritised signing a striker this summer.

The Red Devils are considering a swoop for Tottenham’s Harry Kane, who has just one year remaining on his current contract.

However, Spurs want £100million for their all-time top goalscorer.

United are also keen on the prospect of signing Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, but they face competition from Chelsea.
