Burnley interested in signing Arsenal's Albert Sambi Lokonga on loan with Vincent Kompany eyeing a reunion with the midfielder he once dubbed 'the new Yaya Toure'

Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga is a target for Burnley.

The Gunners may be willing to allow the Belgium international out on loan again following his spell at Crystal Palace in the second half of last season.

Lokonga, 23, also had interest from Sevilla prior to sporting director Monchi departing for Aston Villa.

Burnley have also asked about Metz striker Georges Mikautadze, 22, and Almeria’s El Bilal Toure, 21.

Lokonga joined Arsenal from Anderlecht in 2021 and has made 39 appearances for Mikel Arteta's side.
