Arsenal are closely monitoring Sevilla midfielder Lucien Agoume as a potential replacement for Thomas Partey, according to FootballTransfers.
Agoume has drawn comparisons to Paul Pogba due to his physicality, versatility and technical skill.
The 22-year-old, who started his career with Sochaux before moving to Inter Milan, has attracted interest from top clubs, including Barcelona, whose scouts watched him impress against Atletico Madrid last week.
However, Football transfers understands Arsenal are ahead in the race to sign him, as Agoume is said to favour a move to the Premier League.
Agoume, who joined Sevilla in the summer for €4 million after spending the second half of the 2023/24 campaign on loan at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, has an Estimated Transfer Value (ETV) of €7.6m.
