Arthur Avom attracts Chelsea interest with performances in France

Chelsea lead the race to sign Arthur Avom, the 21-year-old Lorient and Cameroon midfielder.

Avom has attracted attention with his performances in midfield. He is a good passer, reads opposition attacks well and is effective at making interceptions. His strengths also include a high level of defensive discipline and an ability to win the ball.

The Cameroon international has been compared to Moises Caicedo for his defensive work and Toni Kroos for his passing. That combination of qualities makes Avom an interesting option for strengthening the midfield.

According to Transfermarkt, Arthur Avom has a market value of €20 million.
