Arthur Avom Ebong (born 15 December 2004) is a Cameroonian professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Ligue 1 club Lorient and the Cameroon national team.

Club career

Avom began his senior career at Cameroonian club Fauve Azur, based in the capital Yaoundé, playing 72 games for the club. There he would be spotted by Lorient in France, with whom he signed a three-year deal with in 2023.[2] He would make his debut for the club in September of that year, coming on as a substitute for the reserve team in a 4–2 Championnat National 2 victory over Borgo.[3] He would go on to make 18 appearances for the Lorient II team that season as the team was relegated.

The first team was relegated that same season[4] and Avom became a regular fixture in the side for the 2024–25 season, scoring his first goal for the club and his first in European football in a 2–1 away win over Red Star in February 2025.[5] Lorient were re-promoted to Ligue 1 that season at the first time of asking,[6] with Avom making 32 league appearances, registering 2 goals and 6 assists from central midfield. His performances that season drew attention from a host of Premier League clubs, such as Chelsea, Aston Villa and West Ham United.[7]

International career

Avom has made two appearances for the senior team, both in the 2022 African Nations Championship, a competition for players from the nations own domestic league, starting in a 1–0 win over Congo,[8] and a 1–0 loss against Niger.[9] He made these appearances while he was at Fauve Azur. He was called up to the senior team in 2024 for World Cup qualifying, but made no appearances.[10]
