‘He advises me’ - Super Eagles star hails club captain calls him exceptional

Orban has been in good form for Lyon since the start of the Ligue 1 season, having scored two goals for his team.

The striker came on as a super sub and helped Lyon overcome RC Strasbourg at the Groupama Stadium.

The 22-year-old came in as a substitute in the 59th minute and scored two goals in the space of five minutes to win the game for Lyon.

Orban has stated that he looks up to the highly respected former Arsenal player Alexandre Lacazette, who is seen as one of the best strikers in France.

After his brace against Strasbourg, Orban said, as reported by Olympique-et-Lyonnais, "He is an exemplary captain. 

"He has experience, so I watch him in training and he talks to me to advise me so that I can give the best of myself."  

Orban disclosed that Alexandre Lacazette, the captain, with whom he works every day, frequently provides him with advice.

Lyon won their first Ligue 1 game of the season, defeating Strasbourg 4-3 after trailing 3-1 during the game, with Orban helping with the comeback. 

The forward has continued his preseason form for Lyon and has hit the ground running in the new season.
