KAA Gent star Gift Orban has opened up about his potential future, but he probably won't be on his way to Arsenal given his incendiary comments.

The 20-year-old has burst onto the scene this season, scoring the fastest hattrick ever in UEFA competitions and being on fire in Belgium's Jupiler Pro League. Gent took a chance on the youngster after a 16-goal season in Norway's second tier and it's fair to say that their gamble has paid off big time.

Orban has become one of Europe's most sought-after commodities and he was recently linked with the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea. In a new interview, the young Nigerian striker spoke about his dream of playing in the Premier League, but he also didn't hold back when mentioning certain clubs like Arsenal.

What did Orban say?

Speaking to Sporza, Orban said of England's top division: "My ultimate dream is to play in the Premier League. Man United, Liverpool, Man City. I don't like Arsenal alone, it's like they don't want to win titles. I want to go somewhere where they do."

"I still have a four-year contract here [at Gent]," he told the Belgian outlet, "and I am not zero per cent but less than zero per cent [keen] on a departure."

The 20-year-old also spoke about different destinations: "You have to aim high in life and who says no to a bigger salary? Neither do you? But I'm still too young for Saudi Arabia. Playing in a stadium with three supporters is not for me."

"Do you know," Orban added, "why I will never be afraid even against Real Madrid? Because I'm a child from the street. My parents both had a house: my father in Nigeria, my mother in Togo. I started playing football in the suburbs of Lagos as a little boy."
