Interest in Sevilla’s Lucien Agoume

Arsenal are reportedly keeping tabs on Sevilla midfielder Lucien Agoume as they prepare for potential changes in their midfield. With Thomas Partey and Jorginho both out of contract next summer, the club may look to secure replacements ahead of time.

Randal Kolo Muani on Arsenal’s radar

 

The Gunners are also said to be in the market for a striker to bolster their title challenge, having avoided signing a proven goalscorer in recent years. According to The Boot Room, Arsenal are considering a January move for Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani.

PSG manager Luis Enrique is reportedly open to parting ways with the French striker, who joined the club in 2023 for a fee of up to £70 million. However, despite scoring just eight goals in 36 league appearances since his arrival from Eintracht Frankfurt, the 26-year-old is unlikely to come cheap—particularly in the January transfer window.
