Albert Sambi Lokonga Transfer from Arsenal to Sevilla
Sevilla is planning to secure Albert Sambi Lokonga on a permanent basis, who is currently on loan from Arsenal. The club is in discussions to lower the purchase option price, which was initially set at 12 million euros, as they believe a reduction is possible. Lokonga joined Sevilla this summer following previous loan spells at Crystal Palace and Luton Town. Unlike his previous loans, Sevilla has the option to acquire him at the end of the season. Sevilla's management believes that Arsenal might be open to renegotiating the terms due to Lokonga's contract situation, which has only 18 months left with the London club.
