Lorient's 21-year-old Cameroonian central midfielder, Arthur Avom, is valued at an estimated 20 million euros. Fenerbahçe is one of several clubs interested in Avom. In England, Sunderland is reportedly in a strong position after having proposed a four-year contract, while Leeds, Everton, and Crystal Palace are also interested. Bournemouth is also interested. In France, Strasbourg has begun discussions for a potential deal involving BlueCo, and Rennes is also monitoring the situation. Club Bruges is also interested. Lorient activated a one-year option in Avom's contract, extending his deal until 2027, a move made to secure a transfer fee if he departs this summer. Avom, who joined Lorient in July 2024, has 14 caps and one goal for Cameroon.
