Arsenal are reportedly finalising details of a deal for the transfer of Anderlecht midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga.
The Belgian starlet has shown himself to be one of the biggest prospects in Europe in recent times and it would be interesting to see what he can do at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal urgently need a signing like this, and it looks like they’re now closing in on bringing him to north London for £17million, according to Sky Sports.
The Gunners look to have agreed the bulk of the deal, with the clubs just finalising the terms of the payment, according to the report.
Arsenal fans will hope there are no late obstacles to getting Lokonga in, with Mikel Arteta likely to benefit a great deal from bringing in an upgrade on unconvincing performers like Granit Xhaka, Matteo Guendouzi and Lucas Torreira.
Arsenal had a nightmare season in 2020/21 and changes are clearly needed if they’re even to challenge for Europa League football again.
This will be the first of many to expect reasons to be excited good deal
Good prospect for future, will need to adapt to EPL first..
I dont see Arteta let his Key man Xhaka go; this looks more like a Gendouzi replacement…A needed DM back up…
