But it seems the former Stabæk forward isn’t finding his environment friendly, as he was reported to have been nasty to his colleagues.
French Journalist Romain Molina via a post on his verified X (formerly Twitter) handle revealed that Orban is trying to create a division in the Lyon’s locker room.
Orban a réussi l'exploit de se mettre à dos une partie du vestiaire lyonnais tellement il a été infect avec ses nouveaux coéquipiers à l'entraînement.
Bien du courage au staff pour gérer son cas s'il ne se calme pas.
