Arsenal’s Midfield Star To Return in January Amidst Midfield Reinforcement Pursuit
The Gunners, navigating Financial Fair Play restrictions after an active summer transfer window, are actively exploring options to bolster their defensive lineup, particularly in the center-back or defensive midfield positions.
Sources suggest that Albert Sambi Lokonga, currently on loan at Luton Town, may be on the verge of returning to London Colney. The Belgian midfielder has reportedly faced challenges securing sufficient game time with Luton Town, leading to considerations of terminating his loan spell.
