Hoffenheim striker Gift Orban is on the verge of joining newly promoted Turkish side Amedspor on loan, according to German outlet Kicker, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Orban recently returned to Hoffenheim after spending the past season on loan at Italian club Hellas Verona.
The Nigerian striker made an encouraging start to life in Serie A, scoring seven goals in the first half of the campaign. However, his form dipped after the turn of the 2026 calendar year, with just one more goal to finish the season despite ending as Verona’s top scorer.
Verona opted against making the move permanent following a reported fallout between the striker and the club’s fans, while Hoffenheim also have no place for him in their plans for the new season.
