Arsenal are ready to offload Albert Sambi Lokonga this summer with Sevilla on course for a deal.
The Belgian international has struggled to make an impact at the Emirates Stadium since his arrival from Anderlecht in 2021.
Injuries and a lack of space in Mikel Arteta’s midfield has kept the 24-year-old on the fringes and he has admitted to wanting an exit.
Arteta is happy to oblige, after mixed loan spells at Premier League neighbours Crystal Palace and Luton Town, in the last two seasons.
As per reports from Football London, Arsenal have agreed terms with Sevilla on a loan deal for the 2024/25 campaign, with a €3m fee.
However, the remaining stumbling block centres on a purchase clause, which Arsenal want to be mandatory in 2025, but Sevilla are pushing for flexibility.
If the two clubs can resolve that issue, a deal should be wrapped up before the start of preseason, with Sevilla playing warm up games in Spain and Portugal next month.

Arsenal may need Sambi Lokonga in future, never say young talent cheaply

good decision , Arsenal don't need to sell Lokonga at this moment, he is a good midfielder and he just need to gain confidence and then come back to Arsenal and play his part

Sambi lokonga is a good player on and off the ball but he can't start right now in the Arsenal team and he needs to go somewhere to get some playing time
