Arsenal want to sign Lucien Agoume in January

Arsenal are looking to sign the Sevilla midfielder Lucien Agoume during the January transfer window.

The 23-year-old defensive midfielder has done well for Sevilla, and he could prove to be a useful acquisition for Arsenal. The North London outfit are looking to add more defensive depth in the middle of the park, and they believe that the 23-year-old Frenchman would be the ideal acquisition.

He is young enough to improve further, and he has the physical and technical attributes to thrive in the Premier League. As per Fichajes, the player has a €40 million (£35m) release clause in his contract, and Arsenal have the finances to afford him. It remains to be seen whether they follow up on their interest with an official offer to get the deal done.

Agoume will be attracted to the idea of joining one of the biggest clubs in the world. Arsenal have been fighting for the league title and the UEFA Champions League recently. They have an ambitious project and a talented team. They will be fighting for major trophies consistently, and Agoume will certainly want to be a part of that.

Arsenal looking to add more midfield depth

It will be interesting to see if Arsenal follow up on their interest with an official offer in the coming weeks. They have done well to improve the squad this summer. They have brought in midfield. It’s like Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard. However, they are still looking to add more depth in the middle of the park.

Sevilla will be powerless to stop the midfielder from leaving the club if Arsenal decide to trigger his release clause. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops. Meanwhile, Agoume has been linked with Manchester United as well.
