Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah gave a 4-word reaction on his Instagram story about Albert Sambi Lokonga heading to Crystal Palace on loan until the remainder of the season.
Famously, the 23-year-old reprimanded the Belgian midfielder for complaining about a lack of playing time in the Gunners’ ‘All or Nothing’ Amazon documentary.
However, Nketiah seems to have a tight-knit bond with Lokonga, as is evident by his Instagram story, with the latter now been given the chance to show Arsenal what they could miss for the next couple of months during his loan spell at Palace.

The Englishman, who was labelled as ‘brilliant’ by Darren Bent on talkSPORT gave his teammate a reality check by asking him to ‘wake up’ in the documentary, as not getting regular game time is part and parcel of being at top clubs.
However, Eddie Nketiah was clearly over the moon on Instagram about Albert Sambi Lokonga getting a chance to showcase his bags of natural talent on loan at Crystal Palace.
“Let’s go my boy”, Nketiah said on Instagram, sharing a picture posted by Lokonga who confirmed his loan switch.
Lokonga must prove why he is Arsenal-ready at Selhurst Park
Famously, the youngster was likened to Yaya Toure by the-then Anderlecht manager, Vincent Kompany, which led many to tip him to reach the very top at the Emirates Stadium almost instantly.
However, the silky midfielder is still quite a raw prospect, which has meant he is yet to well and truly take off.
As the Gunners goalscorer on Instagram and many others are awaiting to witness Lokonga shine at Palace on loan, he must prove that he is ready to represent Arsenal in the following season, as the club seem especially focused on strengthening their midfield season after season.
