Arsenal are looking to add another midfielder to their squad this summer, and Sevilla’s Lucien Agoume has been mooted as a potential option.
Thomas Partey could now leave Arsenal, after it initially had been thought that the Ghanaian would sign a new contract.
While Martin Zubimendi is expected to sign for the Gunners, Mikel Arteta’s ensemble also lost Jorginho this summer, meaning they’d need one more player to come in if Partey does depart.
Agoume has emerged as a target, with the North Londoners eyeing a cut-price deal for the midfield star who is currently playing for the France under-21s at the Euros.
So, with Arsenal considering making a move for the wide man, here’s a look at everything you need to know about Lucien Agoume.
