Prefer Tchouameni but this bloke is cheaper.
Sambibol!
So, how good?
He's not a first XI signing is he? Because if we are replacing Xhaka with this kid, we'll be lucky to make the top half in 21/22.
Talks that Atalanta and Napoli have also entered the fray.
Di Marzio: Atalanta and Napoli are interested in Lokonga but Arsenal have already offered €12m
Yep, Napoli in for him, that means he has already signed with us 😆
If I am Lokonga I will play for Gasperini , not Arteta.
Good thing you’re not him, and we can hope he makes the right choice.
Not sure if we're the right choice, but I still hope he chooses us. Nevertheless it's a good sign that Atalanta are after him.
suppose it's a good sign if bayern are also interested, even if the quality of their centre mid recruitment has been a bit up and down and recent years
Napoli are in for him too apparently, so it's pretty much nailed on that he'll sign for us.
Seems to be highly rated, this would be the right sort of signing to compliment the first XI.
Not sure on this guy. Looks quite raw. Loose with many of his touches and passes but no doubt has talent

Exactly the type of guy to buy as 3rd 4th choice CM
Interesting to see what this guy costs vs what we get for Douzi.
Tier 1 for Belgium players.
Belgian journo Sacha Tavioleri says all but done. Left the announcement
Am I right in thinking he's basically a budget Bissouma?
If so it's not the worst idea in the world. Feels like players of that mould should be fairly easy to find with good scouting and analytics before they become too high profile.
Athletic ran an in depth stats feature on him. He's not outstanding in many departments except the defensive ones and aerially
That's surprising. I feel like the comps that I've seen only really focused on his passing so I assumed he wasn't that good defensively.
