The transfer of Albert Sambi Lokonga from Anderlecht to Arsenal is now very close. The Purple & White midfielder has been in quarantine for the past few days pending the switch and an official announcement is not long in coming. As with Anderlecht, Lokonga will play at Arsenal with the number 48 on his back, a reference to the postcode of his hometown of Verviers (4800). He has a five-year contract ready in London.

Very soon Anderlecht will pass the cash register again and say goodbye to a youth product. About 17.5 million euros will be added to the Purple & White once the transfer has been officialised. The Red Devil successfully completed his medical tests on Friday. After his quarantine period, he will join the core of the Gunners. Later this week, an exhibition game against Rangers will already be on the program, although it will probably be too early.
Afterwards, a match against the Inter of Romelu Lukaku immediately follows. The two youth products of Anderlecht will meet each other on July 26 at the Florida Cup. Afterwards, Arsenal also sparred against fellow city rivals Chelsea and Tottenham.
