Albert Sambi Lokonga to join Arsenal?
Romano’s tweet suggests that Arsenal are very keen on signing Lokonga.
If not, then why would the North London club make a bid to Anderlecht?
With personal terms having reportedly being agreed, it seems that all Arsenal need to do now to bring the midfielder to the Emirates Stadium is agree on financial details with Anderlecht.
There is speculation that the midfielder will not be in pre-season training with Anderlecht.
It is another clue that the future of the youngster is at Arsenal.
The Daily Mail reported earlier this month that Arsenal are optimistic that Lokonga will join the Gunners.
The Anderlecht no.48 made 33 appearances in the Jupiler Pro League last season.
The 21-year-old scored three goals and gave two assists in those games.
