The 21-year-old made only one appearance for Leeds in the Premier League during the first half of the season and in the

January window, was loaned out to Luton Town.

Drameh established himself as a regular in Rob Edwards’ side and helped them earn promotion to the Premier League.

The right-back made a positive impression on the Luton boss and the freshly promoted Premier League outfit are keen on

retaining his services.

His performances last season have also drawn attention from Burnley, who are in the market for a right-back this summer

but have not made any move for Drameh.

Drameh, who has one year left on his contract with Leeds, has been assured by the Whites hierarchy that he will be provided

with adequate game time if he stays.

It has been claimed that Burnley have retained their interest in Drameh as Vincent Kompany wants to strengthen his right-

back department.

A switch to Burnley could be an attractive proposition for Drameh, but Leeds are unlikely to be willing sellers.

It remains to be seen what lies ahead in the future for Drameh and whether Burnley submit an official offer for the

youngster.

‘Most important thing’: Burnley target drops major hint about his Arsenal future

The 23-year-old made 15 appearances for the Gunners last season and spent the second half of the campaign on loan

with Crystal Palace, where the midfielder made a further nine outings.

Reports claim Lokonga, who played under Vincent Kompany during his time at Anderlecht, is a target for the Clarets.

Addressing his future during a YouTube interview, Lokonga suggested it’s time he got regular minutes under his belt.

“I don’t know, I will try to go somewhere I will play,” he said.

“That’s the most important thing, to have some games and play game after game.”

Despite signing for £17.2m in 2021, Lokonga is believed to be down the pecking order at the Emirates Stadium, a situation

that is likely to worsen given the impending arrival of Declan Rice from West Ham.

It’s been reported that Arsenal are willing to sanction a permanent deal for their midfielder, but there’s a

strong chance a loan move could also include clauses for a permanent move next summer.

In his two seasons with the Gunners, Lokonga has made 39 appearances – albeit a lot of those have come in cup

competitions or in Europe.

A Belgian international, Lokonga made his international debut in a World Cup qualifier against Estonia, coming off the

bench to replace Eden Hazard.

The 6ft midfielder is capable of operating both as a defensive midfielder and further forward and is known for his

athleticism and ability to drive forward.
