It seems Terreur thinks this could have a positive ending, however, and Arsenal fans will certainly be hoping their club can get through these final stages of negotiations.
Lokonga looks a superb young talent and could be an important addition to Arsenal’s midfield, giving them an upgrade on inconsistent and unreliable performers like Granit Xhaka, Matteo Guendouzi and Lucas Torreira.
Even Thomas Partey hasn’t quite been at his best in his time at the Emirates Stadium so far, so Lokonga could be an important addition to partner him in the middle of the park.
