Albert Sambi Lokonga is set to leave Arsenal this summer, with Burnley tracking him closely ahead of a potential move.

The Evening Standard report that Albert Sambi Lokonga is set to leave Arsenal this summer, after spending the second half of last season with Crystal Palace on loan.

Burnley are reportedly tracking the Arsenal midfielder closely, with manager Vincent Kompany knowing the player well from their time together at Anderlecht.

The Daily Mail also recently confirmed that Burnley are interested in Lokonga this summer, with the Gunners willing to consider another loan for the Belgian midfielder.

Sevilla were another club chasing Lokonga going into the summer, but that was before sporting director Monchi left for Aston Villa. It’s not clear how that departure might have affected their interest.

In May, the suggestion was that Arsenal were considering a permanent sale for Lokonga.

But if Sevilla are no longer in the race, perhaps a loan could become more likely, as the Gunners would struggle to get value out of a one-horse race from Burnley

The Evening Standard gave no hints whether Lokonga is more likely to leave permanently or on another loan.
