    According to several reports, TSG Hoffenheim are on the verge of strengthening up front.

    Kicker, Sky Germany and Fabrizio Romano all report that the Sinsheim-based club are close to completing a deal to sign Gift Orban from Olympique Lyon.

    If all goes according to plan, the Nigerian striker will join Hoffenheim on a permanent basis for a fee of around €9 million, according to Sky and Kicker.

    Expectations were high when Orban joined Lyon from Belgian side KAA Gent for a reported €14 million about a year ago, but the 22-year-old has fallen out of favor at the French club.

    Die Kraichgauer enter the second half of the season in 15th place in the Bundesliga.
