Arthur Avom, born on 15 December 2004 (age 21), is a Cameroon attacking midfielder whose senior career has been shaped almost entirely at Lorient. He wears squad number 62 and has become a regular first-team presence rather than a name hovering around the edges.
Lorient is where the substance of his career sits. Across three league seasons he has made 63 league appearances and scored four goals, with 2024–2025 his most productive campaign so far: 32 appearances and two goals. In 2025–2026 he has again been heavily involved, with 31 Ligue 1 appearances and two goals, plus further outings in the Coupe de France and other competition to take him to 37 appearances for Lorient across the season.
His progress has also carried into the Cameroon set-up. This season he has made four appearances in African World Cup qualifying and scored once, useful confirmation that his Lorient role is not just club-level promise being politely indulged.
He was linked with a move to Celtic in July 2026 while at Lorient. His current market value is around £17m, according to Transfermarkt.
Avom remains a developing player with a clear base: Lorient, regular football, and a growing role for Cameroon. The career is still early, but it already has a defined shape.
