SAMMY LOKONGA JOINS SEVILLA ON LOAN
Belgian midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga has joined Spanish LaLiga outfit Sevilla on a one-year loan deal.
Arsenal announced the loan move in a statement on Monday.
“Sambi Lokonga has joined La Liga side Sevilla on a season-long loan.
“The 24-year-old midfielder spent last season on loan with Luton Town, where he made 17 Premier League appearances in the Hatters’ first season back in top-flight football for over 30 years.
“Sambi became an integral part of the Luton team during the season, producing strong performances throughout the campaign for Rob Edwards’ side.
“Since joining us in July 2021 from Anderlecht, Sambi has made 39 Gunners appearances in all competitions, including featuring in 12 of our first 13 Premier League matches of his debut season.
“Sambi also spent some time on loan in south London with Crystal Palace for the second half of the 2022/2023 campaign, to help steer the Eagles to safety.
“This next step in Sambi’s career represents a great opportunity for our Belgian international midfielder to further fulfil his potential by competing at a high level in a top European league.
“Everyone at Arsenal wishes Sambi all the best this coming season in Spain with Sevilla.
“The loan deal is subject to the completion of regulatory processes.“
