French Ligue 2 club Montpellier have secured the services of promising Nigerian striker Victor Orakpo on a season-long loan from OGC Nice ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.
The 19-year-old joined Nice in January 2024 following his outstanding performance at the FC Bayern Youth Cup, where he emerged as the tournament’s top scorer with six goals and was also named the Most Valuable Player (MVP).
Despite his early promise, Orakpo made only five appearances across all competitions for Nice last season. The loan move to Montpellier is expected to offer him more regular playing time and further his development in French football.
