According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga will join Sevilla on loan from Arsenal. The contract will last for one year with a 12 million euro option to buy.
Sevilla will pay Lokonga’s salary. The Spanish team has scheduled a medical. Lokonga received a lot of expectations when he first arrived at Arsenal. Unfortunately, the 24-year-old star could not compete for a regular place in the first team.
In the 2023/2024 season, Lokonga played for Luton Town on loan. Lokonga contributed 1 goal, 3 assists after 17 matches for Luton. At Arsenal, the 24-year-old midfielder made 39 appearances for the London team.
Lokonga joins Arsenal.
Saying goodbye to Arsenal is the right move for Lokonga at the moment. The Belgian star will find it difficult to compete for a starting position alongside Thomas Partey, Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard….
Sevilla promises to help Lokonga have more playing time, hone his skills, and gain experience playing at the highest level. As for Arsenal, the London team will bring in some new players in the near future.
