Gnagnon – who is of Ivorian descent – had previously chosen to play for the Ivory Coast, but never made an appearance and has subsequently appeared four times for France at youth level.

He is Sevilla's fifth signing of the transfer window, having already completed deals for Roque Mesa, Sergei Gomez, Tomas Vaclik and Ibrahim Amadou.
