Overview

• Arsenal have monitored the 23-year-old defensive midfielder for months and are weighing an approach when the window reopens, according to multiple reports.
• Brighton are now pursuing Agoume as well, with TBR reporting the Seagulls have added him to their shortlist under new leadership.
• Price expectations vary widely in the coverage, from about £7m on Transfermarkt to roughly £20m reported by Fichajes, with ArsenalNews citing a £35m release clause.
• Reports suggest Sevilla’s reduced income without European competition could push the club to consider sales in January.
• Agoume’s strong duel wins, recoveries and pressing have drawn stylistic comparisons to N’Golo Kanté, and Brighton’s interest is linked to technical director Jason Ayto’s prior scouting of the player at Arsenal.
