"It's like they don't want to win titles" - Chelsea target takes shots at Arsenal and reveals dream of playing for Manchester United or Liverpool
KAA Gent striker Gift Orban has taken shots at Arsenal after the Gunners slipped up in the title race. He has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Chelsea, Manchester United, and Tottenham rumored to be interested.
The 20-year-old has claimed that he does not like Arsenal because they do not play to win trophies. He was talking about his dream of playing in the Premier League when he named Manchester United among his dream clubs.
The striker was in conversation with Het Laatste Nieuws when he claimed to have said:
"Playing in a big league. At a club where I feel comfortable AND where I play. The Premier League is my ultimate dream. Manchester United, Liverpool or Manchester City (laughs)."
He went on to take shots at The Gunners and said:
"I don't really like Arsenal that much – it's like they don't want to win titles. They play and sell players – that's it. I want to go somewhere where they win prizes. At Real Madrid they don't have time for tiki-taka, there they just grab titles."
Orban has been scouted by Chelsea and Tottenham this season, and reports suggest both clubs are keen on making a move this summer.
Arsenal star Aaron Ramsdale dismisses 'bottle job' claims
Aaron Ramsdale believes it is lazy to call Arsenal's slip-up in the Premier League title race a bottle job. He believes that they have done well this season, and it is Manchester City who have blown them over in the race.
He told the Telegraph:
"It does when it comes from certain people who don't necessarily have the knowledge or the experience. I also think it's very hard to say that with a team [City] who have won it in five of the last six years, gone on an 11-game winning streak and will potentially win the treble. So we have to be realistic as well. This narrative of 'bottled it', I think it is an easy way out."
He added:
"It's just quick, cheap narrative from certain people who have not actually gone digging into stories of what we've achieved. Some people are saying it and forgetting that other teams have had the same experience as us. We let them worry about that, let them get views and people listening to them. We are disappointed but extremely proud of ourselves as well."
The Gunners' fate could be sealed on Saturday if they drop points to Nottingham Forest.
