Arthur Avom, born 15 December 2004 (age 21), is a Cameroonian central attacking midfielder whose senior career has been shaped almost entirely at Lorient. He wears squad number 62 and has become a regular part of their first-team picture rather than a name drifting around the edges.
Lorient is where the substance of his club career sits. Across three seasons he has made 73 league appearances and scored four times, with his most productive league campaign coming in 2024–25, when he scored twice in 32 appearances. That is a decent body of work for a player still in the early stretch of his career.
In 2026–27, Avom has remained involved, making 10 Ligue 1 appearances and 16 in all competitions for Lorient. He has also been active internationally, playing four World Cup qualifiers for Cameroon and scoring once. His market value is around £17m, according to Transfermarkt.
He was linked with a move to Celtic in July 2026. For now, Avom’s career remains centred on Lorient, where he is still getting regular first-team football and building a solid senior record.
