Arsenal have finalised the signing of Albert Sambi Lokonga from Anderlecht on a long-term deal.
The Gunners' new midfielder joined Anderlecht's youth team in 2014, making his way through the ranks before he was handed his first-team debut in December 2017 as an 18-year-old.
Since then, Lokonga has improved drastically, quickly becoming a regular for the Pro League outfit and establishing himself as one of Belgium's most talented young midfielders. Thecentral midfielder featured a total of 78 times for Vincent Kompany's side before being unveiled as an Arsenal player.
Defensive ability
Similar to Thomas Partey, Lokonga is an extremely well-rounded midfielder and is more than capable at both ends of the pitch.
