Sambi Lokonga joins Luton Town on loan

Albert Sambi Lokonga has joined Luton Town on a season-long loan.

The midfielder was initially linked with Burnley last month, but the deal was complicated and fell through.

Luton’s interest came as a surprise earlier today, with the move completed in the recent minutes.

Lokonga spent the second half of last season on loan at Crystal Palace and made nine appearances. He joined Arsenal from Anderlecht in 2021.

Lokonga has played 39 times for Arsenal but has been unable to really establish himself in the side.

The 23-year-old will now hope that he will be able to feature prominently for Luton. Luton have started their Premier League campaign with two defeats.
