Dundee Football Club is reportedly in talks to sign OGC Nice's Victor Orakpo, a 20-year-old Nigerian youth international. The deal is said to be weak, but Orakpo may be lured away from the Allianz Riviera.
What's the situation with Victor Orakpo?
OGC Nice centre-forward Victor Orakpo is the subject of an approach from Dundee Football Club, according to a report from L'Équipe. Orakpo joined Nice from Bayern Munich's academy and has found first-team appearances hard to come by, despite injuries in his sector theoretically providing opportunities.
Why is Dundee Football Club interested in Victor Orakpo?
Dundee Football Club is reportedly in talks to sign Orakpo, who has featured prominently in pre-season due to the lack of competition up front. Terem Moffi is being pushed towards an exit, as is Mohamed-Ali Cho, whilst Elye Wahi has returned to Eintracht Frankfurt (for now), following the expiry of his loan.
What's next for Victor Orakpo?
The Nigeria youth international is even the subject of a bid from Dundee Football Club, L'Équipe understands, although this bid has been described as "weak" by the publication. Likely, therefore, that the Scottish club's offer will be sufficient to lure the striker away from the Allianz Riviera.
Dundee Football Club is currently 9th in the Premiership, with 33 points from 33 games, and a goal difference of -19. They are 37 points behind leaders Heart Of Midlothian. The team has scored 34 goals this season, while conceding 53.
The transfer window is open, and Dundee Football Club is looking to strengthen its squad. With Orakpo's potential signing, the team may be able to improve its chances of climbing the table.
