Sevilla continue to make moves in the transfer market, as Sporting Director Victor Orta tries to rebuild their squad on the cheap. The loan additions of Saul Niguez and Albert Sambi-Lokonga have been joined by free agent Chidera Ejuke and Peque Fernandez. It looks as if fifth and sixth low-cost signings are on the way.
On Saturday it was confirmed that Kelechi Iheanacho would be arriving on a free day in order to replace Youssef En-Nesyri. That was confirmed by Relevo on Monday, and they say that a deal for Inter midfielder Lucien Agoume is also on the way.

Fabrizio Romano and Niccolo Schira have also reported that Agoume will arrive at Sevilla, for a reported fee of over €3m, but Inter will retain 50% of his rights, and thus half of any money gained from his next sale.

Last season Agoume arrived on loan in January at Sevilla, and had a mediocre run under Quique Sanchez Flores. The 22-year-old played 13 times for Los Nervionenses, racking up 787 minutes and nine starts. While he did not set the world alight, clearly Orta has faith in the French under-21 international. Seemingly his arrival also has the blessing of new manager Garcia Pimienta too.
