Luton Town have signed Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga on a season-long loan.
The Belgian was spotted in attendance at Kenilworth Road during the Hatters' 2-1 Premier League loss to West Ham United on Friday and will now link up with Rob Edwards's side for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign.
Lokonga becomes the 11th new face through the door at Kenilworth Road this summer and is the second player to join the Hatters on deadline day after former Manchester United defender Teden Mengi.
The former Anderlecht man arrived at Arsenal in a £15m deal in 2021 and has since made 39 appearances for Mikel Arteta's men in all tournaments, but he has failed to score or assist in that time.
Lokonga struggled to earn starts over Granit Xhaka, Thomas Partey and Jorginho last season, and he spent the second half of the 2022-23 season on loan at Crystal Palace, where he made nine appearances.
The 23-year-old follows Nottingham Forest loanee Nuno Tavares out of the Arsenal exit door on deadline day, and the Gunners are also expected to offload Rob Holding to Crystal Palace in a £4m deal later on tonight. body check tags ::
