"Sevilla have gotten off to a solid start in La Liga this season, Agoume has been central to that, sitting in front of the back line, breaking up play, and helping transition from defence into attack. While Agoume's name may not yet carry global superstar status, his skill set is gaining attention. Arsenal's interest in Agoume is hardly coincidental. Over the summer, the Gunners saw the exit of experienced midfielders Thomas Partey and Jorginho."
"In their stead, they brought in Christian Nrgaard and Martin Zubimendi. Even so, Arsenal's management are thinking long term. Bringing in Agoume could be part of that foresight. The Gunners will need to persuade Agoume that he can challenge and grow with them, not just be a backup option. If Arsenal can thread that needle, landing Agoume might give them a midfield asset not just for years ahead but for the highest levels of competition."
Arsenal are preparing a January move for Lucien Agoume, a French defensive midfielder currently at Sevilla, to strengthen midfield depth after recent departures. Agoume operates in front of the back line, breaking up play and aiding defensive-to-offensive transitions, and has become central to Sevilla's strong La Liga start. Sevilla valuated Agoume at €34 million but may accept lower offers if the player wishes to leave. Arsenal sold Thomas Partey and Jorginho over the summer and added Christian Norgaard and Martin Zubimendi, yet management seeks long-term options. Arsenal will need to convince Agoume he can compete, not merely provide backup, alongside Rice, Merino, Zubimendi and Norgaard.
