Africa-Press – Sierra-Leone. <\/strong><\/span>KAA Gent wonderkid, Gift Orban is set to make his debut for Super Eagles against Leone Stars at the 18 June AFCONQ clash in Monrovia, Liberia.<\/a><\/p>\n

Orban is having a fantastic season in the Belgian top tier netting 15 goals in just 14 matches.<\/p>\n

The 20-year-old striker has netted a total of 19 goals in all competition with a notable hat trick against rivals Cercle Brugge.Orban, who also played for Stabaek Fotbal, had earlier rejected a call up from the Nigerian team due to personal reasons.<\/p>\n

Nigeria will play Sierra Leone in June before honouring their final tie against Sa\u0303o Tome\u0301 and Principe\u0301 in September.<\/p>\n

A win for Nigeria will see them earn a spot for AfCON in Ivory Coast next year.<\/p>\n

The match is also an all important one for Sierra Leone who have only 5 points after four games.<\/p>\n
