Albert Sambi Lokonga is willing to accept another opportunity in England from Burnley, the recently promoted Premier
League team, as manager Vincent Kompany is eager to reunite with the midfielder.
Before Lokonga transferred to Arsenal, they had previously collaborated at Anderlecht. Lokonga has had trouble adjusting to
life in England since signing with the Gunners and has found it tough to have an influence.
Lokonga was loaned to Crystal Palace before the end of the previous campaign, but his stint there was unproductive, leading
to his return to the Emirates Stadium. Lokonga is not in Arsenal’s future plans, and it is expected that they will permit him
to leave, even temporarily. Arsenal has made this obvious.
Burnley has reportedly shown a lot of interest in Lokonga and is actively contemplating both a permanent transfer and a
loan deal for the midfielder, according to The Sun. Burnley’s choice about Lokonga’s probable transfer, however, will be
influenced by other transfer activity that are currently underway.
Simply Arsenal’s Opinion
Since he joined us, Lokonga has utterly failed, and the Belgian has to leave the team as soon as possible.
He simply has no future with us again, therefore selling him this summer is ideal as we are replacing him with better players.
If we do receive solely loan offers, we should strive to include a buy-in requirement before approving them.
I’m not sure if Jamie Vardy started off early; some players take longer to develop. Lonkango might start to click after a whole season.
It is usually preferable for a child to gain experience under a coach who has faith in them; they will be given plenty of time.
The renowned Arsene Wenger, who exhibits enormous faith and extreme patience, is no longer around.

Coventry City suffer potential transfer setback as Championship rivals target Burnley man
According to rumours, Coventry City’s efforts to rehire Luke McNally have failed, and Championship rivals Millwall may be
in a stronger position to secure the defender.
The Burnley center-back had a standout half-season loan with the Sky Blues, helping the team’s push to the play-offs, where
they ultimately lost out on promotion to the Premier League after losing a penalty shootout at Wembley, according to Alan
Nixon, a transfer expert for The Sun.
The 23-year-old, according to the source, might be returned to the lower division for a full season’s loan this summer when
the Clarets make their debut appearance in the Premier League.
McNally was one of Vincent Kompany’s first signings last summer, but since then, he’s added a number of center backs,
including Dara O’Shea of West Brom, who seems to have substantially reduced McNally’s chances at Turf Moor.
And the player is expected to be keen on another move in order to get first team football, and Millwall “plan to snap him up,”
says the report.
According to Nixon, Burnley have previously made offers for Millwall forward Zian Flemming, and the Lions’ interest might
be included in a trade for him. However, “throwing McNally in may help,” he claims.
He adds that Burnley “does not favor” McNally returning for a second season, despite Coventry also wanting that.
McNally is one of the obvious candidates given City’s respect for the center-back who has already done a good job for them,
according to reports last week from TEAMtalk that Kompany may be prepared to surrender two of his players as part of a
players-plus-cash exchange deal for Viktor Gyokeres.
Kompany knows him, I think he’s the man to unlock the player. A year’s loan and he’ll either be a better fit for the squad or
have a decent value for a sale.
