BREAKING: Norgaard and Zubimendi joined, Gyokeres agree personal terms and Rodrygo undergoing medical to join- Arsenal latest transfer news as the Gunners signed two superstars and three more undergoing medical to join

Arsenal have discussed a summer move for Sevilla midfielder Lucien Agoume before advancing on a deal for Brentford’s Christian Norgaard, according to The Athletic journalist Jamie McNicholas.

The Gunners have reportedly considered Agoume as one of their potential targets to replace the outgoing Thomas Partey, who is set to leave when his contract expires next week.

Agoume, who joined Sevilla permanently from Inter Milan last year, was linked with a Premier League move earlier this month following a breakout campaign in Spain.

The 23-year-old has emerged as one of Europe’s most promising defensive midfielders during his 18 months at Sevilla, where he is under contract until June 2028.

Arsenal are now close to sealing a move for Norgaard, having reached an agreement with Brentford over a deal worth around €11m (£9.4m) for the Denmark international.

The 31-year-old has reportedly been granted permission by Brentford to travel for his medical at the Emirates and now looks set to join alongside Kepa Arrizabalaga and Martin Zubimendi.

Arsenal are set to trigger Kepa’s £5m release clause to sign him from Chelsea this week and are also close to a deal for Zubimendi, with a club-to-club agreement in place for a move worth over £51m.

Agoume, meanwhile, was linked with the likes of Tottenham and Manchester United earlier this month, after delivering a strong campaign for Sevilla with 35 league appearances and four goal contributions.

The ‘extraordinary’ 23-year-old also played a key role in helping Sevilla narrowly avoid relegation, as the seven-time Europa League winners finished 17th in La Liga, just one point above the drop zone.
