Arsenal are reportedly planning to accelerate their efforts to sign Sevilla midfielder Lucien Agoume, as per Spanish outlet Fichajes.

The Gunners decided to overhaul the engine room by purchasing Martin Zubimendi and Christian Norgaard this summer after letting Thomas Partey and Jorginho leave for free.

Zubimendi has already established himself as an integral part of Mikel Arteta’s starting XI, scoring two goals across all competitions, while the Dane’s role is to play as a second-fiddle option.

Arsenal have even enjoyed a stellar start to this season, sitting at the top of the Premier League table with 16 points from seven games. Moreover, they have already won both of their Champions League matches.

Still, Fichajes state that Arsenal are looking to add depth to the midfield department and have identified Agoume as a serious option. They have even started accelerating their efforts to seal the deal in the upcoming January transfer window.

The 23-year-old has a £35m release clause in his current contract, which will run until 2028, but the Andalusian side are open to letting him leave for less than the release clause fee.

The report say that purchasing the Frenchman won’t be straightforward for the North London...
