Arsenal have scheduled a medical for Anderlecht midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga.

The London Evening Standard says Arsenal have agreed a £15m deal with Anderlecht to sign Lokonga.

Talks with Anderlecht reached a breakthrough this week after an opening offer for £13m was rejected.

Lokonga will now undergo a medical in Belgium before traveling to England, where he will have to self-isolate before joining his new team-mates.

Arsenal will pay £15m up front with further performance-related add-ons expected.

The Gunners are also looking to wrap up the signing of Benfica left-back Nuno Tavares this week with Mikel Arteta targeting a back-up for Kieran Tierney.
