Arsenal target Albert Sambi Lokonga isn't expected to attend Anderlecht preseason.

HLN says Sambi Lokonga is not expected to return for preseason training amid talk of a potential move to Arsenal.

Mikel Arteta is on the hunt for a new central midfielder after seeing Dani Ceballos and Martin Odegaard return to Real Madrid this summer.

The Gunners have therefore pinpointed Lokonga, 21, as a top transfer target ahead of the summer window - and it seems Anderlecht have already begun preparing for his departure.

Sambi Lokonga is not expected to show up for the start of Anderlecht's preseason schedule, with a 'definitive breakthrough' in his potential switch to Arsenal rumoured to be close.

It is believed Anderlecht are demanding around £17million for their star midfielder, whose preference is to head to north London despite interest from certain Serie A clubs.
