Chelsea has also entered the race to sign Avom, who is off contract at the end of the season. Lorient wants to keep him on a new deal, but Avom is taking his time to consider his options.
Avom's potential to become a free agent could make things complicated for Lorient. The club has a partnership with Bournemouth, which helped them sign Dango Outtara last year. However, this partnership may not guarantee Avom's signing.
Other clubs, including Bournemouth, may also be interested in Avom. He is weighing his options carefully before making a decision.
