✍️ OFFICIAL Sambi Lokonga

[Mitch]

But we're still signing a starting rb according to lost sources, so Mikel clearly doesn't rate them as starters.

Who are lost sources and who are they linking us to?

Would be an waste if so replacing our RB who finished the season in such great form and earning comparisons to Cafu.

This kid would shock most of you on here ! Watch this space. I remember Douzi came with same squadie vibes but quickly asserted himself and propelled into a starter. All was good , value piked , PSG started sniffing around ...until his meteoric rise started getting into his head. Sambi technically is even better , mature and proven in the Belgian League. I have no doubts he will shock most on here. The rise would be similar to Douzi's , but where he as an advantage , is the fact he is a captain. He understands discipline , character and staying grounded. This is where Douzi lost track. ( from 40M PSG rumoured interest to Marseille on loan with an option of 10M ) I am quietly excited about this one. Anderlecht want to add an option to buy because they know the player has a big future.

Hard to believe but Douzi is also a captain - of the France U21 squad (which could probably beat Anderlecht easily). But that aside, I agree with the sentiment in your post. Think and hope this guy will be a good'un

The Athletic and others have been adamant a starting RB is a priority.

Getting the non PL signings in before pre season is excellent stuff.

They are done when they have been announced.

The player and club can agree all they want it’s the two clubs agreeing that matter

we can’t even sign a prospect without making a meal of it

Something going on? Wouldn't think the player would be in for a medical if the two clubs haven't agreed. We're just a clunky club when it comes to announcing signings.

Finally, no reason it should've taken this long.

17.5m plus add ons. Not cheap, you guys think he'll play a big role this season?

His YT clips look quite underwhelming

We had to go up a little to reduce the sell-on clause from 15% Anderlecht originally wanted, to 5%. His role will depend on who else we are signing, but he should get plenty of minutes regardless.

Don't think he can already be a regular starter just yet. But as a back-up he should be able to show his qualities.

I heard that lokonga is a long term investment and the real one Arteta wants is Glen Kamara to partner Partey in midfield. He wants to have a look at him when Rangers play Arsenal in friendly. Kamara is a cheaper and very underrated alternative to Bissouma who has a Finnish passport and wont bugger off during Afcon.

Also Arsenal alumni

The impressive one with his clips from this season was taken down due to copyright. All the clips seen in the comps available now are from like 2-3 years ago. If I had just seen these ones, I'd probably be unimpressed too.

That's interesting. I've seen quite a few clips of him lately and he has improved immeasurably. Not sure if he takes us forward though tbh, but he's definitely worth his salt. I'd probably not be excited but intrigued.

Ignore him, I don’t think what he is saying is true about Arteta targeting him he made a thread saying we should sign Glenn Kamara a month or so ago.

Fair enough - I wouldn't be that surprised though.

I thought he looked good for Finland earlier in the Euros.
