Everton is interested in Lorient's Cameroonian midfielder Arthur Avom. English clubs Leeds, Crystal Palace, and Bournemouth are also interested. Sunderland is considered to be in a strong position and has offered the 21-year-old a four-year contract. In France, Strasbourg has initiated discussions and Rennes is also monitoring the player. Club Bruges and Fenerbahçe are also interested. To secure a transfer fee if Avom leaves this summer, Lorient activated a one-year contract option. The player's value is estimated at 20 million euros, but he could potentially leave. Avom, who joined Lorient in July 2024, has 14 caps and one goal for Cameroon.
