Arsenal Seeks Thomas Partey’s Replacement in Spain

Arsenal has set its sights on Lucien Agoumé as a top option to strengthen its midfield, given the imminent departure of Thomas Partey. With Mikel Arteta determined to maintain the team’s competitive level after narrowly missing out on the Champions League final, the board has started working on strategic signings to bolster their short and medium-term project.

Agoumé, currently with Sevilla, has been one of the pleasant surprises of the season. His performance in LaLiga has caught the attention of several European clubs, and the London team has quickened its pace to position itself in the race for his signing. At 23 years old, the French midfielder stands out for his physical presence, good ball distribution, and tactical awareness that aligns with Arteta’s playing style.

Arsenal Wants to Sign Lucien Agoumé

A key point in this operation will be the player’s contractual situation, as Inter Milan holds 50% of his rights. This means that any sale by Sevilla will need to be negotiated with the Italians, adding complexity to the discussions. Additionally, Borussia Dortmund has also shown interest in acquiring the player’s services, potentially leading to a bidding war between two major European clubs.

In London, they are confident that Arsenal’s sporting and financial offer can convince Agoumé. Arteta particularly values his versatility in the midfield and sees him as an ideal profile to increase competition in a crucial area for the Gunners’ game. The coming weeks will be decisive in determining the Frenchman’s future.
