Sevilla announce latest midfield signing

La Liga outfit Sevilla have on Tuesday announced a fresh addition to the club’s midfield ranks.

The player on his way back to The Sánchez Sánchez Pizjuán? Lucien Agoumé.

After he spent the 2nd half of last season on loan with the club, Sevilla recently opened talks with their counterparts at Inter Milan, over making midfielder Agoumé’s signing a permanent one.

This comes after new Nervionenses head coach García Pimienta gave his green light to the operation.

And, following a breakthrough in talks between the parties late last week, on Tuesday, official confirmation of the transfer has been forthcoming.

As per a statement across Sevilla’s website and social media platforms:

‘Sevilla FC and Inter Milan have reached an agreement for the transfer of 21-year-old Franco-Cameroonian midfielder Lucien Jefferson Agoumé. After his good work in the almost 800 minutes played in the second half of the 2023/24 campaign, the midfielder signs for four seasons, until June 2028 , becoming the sixth signing of the current market.’

Agoumé follows Albert Sambi Lokonga, Peque Fernández, Saúl Ñíguez, Chidera Ejuke and Kelechi Iheanacho in the door amid what has proven a busy summer in Nervión to date.
