Arsenal are actively monitoring Sevilla midfielder Lucien Agoumé as a potential successor to Thomas Partey, FootballTransfers can reveal.
The 22-year-old Frenchman, born in Cameroon, has impressed with his physicality, versatility, and technical prowess, earning comparisons to Paul Pogba. Agoumé, who made the move to Sevilla in the summer for €4 million after a loan spell at the club last season, has already played 15 La Liga matches this term, further enhancing his reputation.
Top European clubs are circling, with Barcelona scouts having watched him shine in Sevilla’s recent clash with Atletico Madrid. However, Arsenal appear to be in pole position, as sources suggest Agoumé is keen on a Premier League move. With a market value of €6 million according to Transfermarkt, Agoumé is expected to attract more attention in the coming months, but it seems the Premier League side is ahead of the competition for his signature.
Agoumé’s journey from Sochaux to Inter Milan and now Sevilla showcases his rapid rise, and Arsenal are hopeful he can continue that trajectory in north London.
