OFFICIAL: Sambi Lokonga joins Sevilla on a long-season loan.

Arsenal has officially announced that Sambi Lokonga has completed a season-long loan move to Sevilla, with a potential option for a permanent transfer next summer.

Despite great expectations when he signed from Anderlecht three years ago, Lokonga has struggled to establish himself and has fallen down the club’s pecking order.

Having spent time rebuilding his confidence at Luton Town, Lokonga now aims to hit the ground running in Spain. His transfer to Sevilla offers a significant improvement in technical quality, and it will be intriguing to watch how he improves.

Staying injury-free will be crucial because last season, he made only 19 appearances across all competitions due to injury setbacks.

Sevilla has confirmed an option to buy Lokonga permanently at the end of the loan. The potential transfer fee is reportedly around €12 million, and Arsenal has retained a 25% sell-on clause in case of any future transfer.
