Bundesliga: Gift Orban aims to save Hoffenheim from relegation to Division 2

Gift Orban takes his responsibilities to heart. As his club TSG Hoffenheim battles to stay in the Bundesliga, the forward promises to give everything to prevent his team from dropping to the second division.

TSG Hoffenheim is seriously struggling to get by this season in the Bundesliga. The club is currently in 14th place in the German top division, just 5 points above the relegation zone. It is precisely to bolster their attack and try to rectify this situation that the club recruited some talents during the summer transfer window, including Gift Orban.

Arriving at TSG Hoffenheim in January 2025 from Olympique Lyonnais, the Nigerian has had no trouble finding his place in the club. In 12 appearances, Gift Orban has scored 4 goals in the Bundesliga. Unfortunately, more is needed to keep Hoffenheim in the top division for the 2025/2026 season. The 22-year-old is well aware of this and intends to increase his efforts to help his team.

"Hoffenheim is a good club, but it is in a difficult situation. Many clubs contacted me during the winter, but here, the management treated me with respect and convinced me. I now want to score even more goals and work hard so that we stay in the league," he told the club's official site.
