Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga has been spotted watching Luton Town tonight ahead of finalising a departure.
Albert Sambi Lokonga seems to be on the verge of joining Luton Town having watched their game against West Ham United tonight.
Sky Sports have spotted Lokonga in the crowd at Kenilworth Road with the Arsenal midfielder seemingly nearing a move.
The Gunners midfielder has been expected to move on from Arsenal before the deadline, even if only on loan.
That seems to be the plan for Luton with Lokonga coming in to boost the Hatters until the end of the season.
Sky Sports reporter Gary Cotterill claimed just hours before kick-off tonight that Lokonga’s move to Luton was ‘nearing completion’.
Lokonga surely wouldn’t be in the stands watching the game if a deal wasn’t either done or on the verge of being sealed.
There isn’t much time left but with Lokonga in Luton and watching his new teammates in action, confirmation can’t be far away.
Liverpool turned down Albert Sambi Lokonga chance
Lokonga finally appears to have secured himself a move away from Arsenal having seemed in danger of being stuck at the Emirates Stadium.
The Belgian clearly isn’t in Mikel Arteta’s plans and desperately needed a loan move in order to play regularly.
Belgian reporter Sacha Tavolieri claimed in July that Burnley were closing in on a loan-to-buy deal for Lokonga.
A reunion with his former Anderlecht boss Vincent Kompany seemed to make sense but that move went completely quiet.
Then we had surprise rumours about Liverpool.
Get French Football News reported earlier this week that Liverpool had been offered the chance to sign Lokonga.
The Reds seemingly weren’t keen though as they prioritised signing Bayern Munich midfielder Ryan Gravenberch.
Lokonga appears to have finally landed himself a new club though and will be desperate to get back on track after a tricky time at Arsenal.
