Report: Arsenal consider move for La Liga defensive midfielder

Arsenal continue refining their squad, rumours are mounting of a bold midfield target for the winter window, Lucien Agoumé, the French defensive midfielder currently at Sevilla.

With departures in midfield and questions over depth, the Gunners are reportedly preparing a January swoop, according to Fichajes.

Sevilla have gotten off to a solid start in La Liga this season, Agoumé has been central to that, sitting in front of the back line, breaking up play, and helping transition from defence into attack.

While Agoumé’s name may not yet carry global superstar status, his skill set is gaining attention.

Sevilla reportedly placed a £34 million valuation on him, though sources suggest they might entertain lower offers if the player expresses a willingness to leave.

Arsenal’s interest in Agoumé 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 Nørgaard and Martín Zubimendí.
