'It's like they don't want to win titles' - 19-goal striker wants Liverpool move but 'doesn't like' Arsenal

KAA Gent striker Gift Orban has named Liverpool as one of his 'dream' clubs to play for in the Premier League as speculation surrounding his future increases.

The Nigerian has scored 19 goals in 19 games in the Belgian Pro League and Europa Conference League for Gent this season and is said to be attracting interest from England's top flight as he names three clubs he would like to play for.

Orban mentioned Manchester City and Manchester United alongside the Reds, but dismissed Mikel Arteta's Arsenal side as they 'don't want to win titles.'

The 20-year-old dreams of a move to the Premier League, but wants to join a club where he can win titles: "I also hear the rumours about a transfer," Orban told Sporza. "But at the moment I only think about KAA Gent. I still have four years of contract here and I am not 0%, but less than 0% working on a departure.

"But of course I hope to play in a big league one day. You have to aim high in life and who says no to a bigger salary? (laughs) You don't either? But I'm still too young for Saudi Arabia, I wants to experience football to the fullest. Playing in a stadium with three supporters is not for me.

"Above all, I want to end up somewhere where I am comfortable. Do you want to go to a big club where you don't get much playing time and life is a bit difficult? Or do you prefer a team where you feel comfortable and play? Every player will choose the latter. Except for 35-year-olds who only do it for the money.

"My ultimate dream is to play in the Premier League. Manchester United, Liverpool, Manchester City. Only Arsenal I don't like – it's like they don't want to win titles. I want to go somewhere where they do."
