Crystal Palace midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga has hinted at problems with parent club Arsenal.

The Gunners allowed Lokonga to join Palace after signing Jorginho in a 12million deal from Chelsea. The 23-year-old has sent a message to Patrick Vieira following his dismissal as manager at Selhurst Park with a picture of the pair during their time together at Palace.

The Belgian midfielder wrote: Thank you for giving me back the smile during this short period of time. See you soon coach!"

Lokonga's message hints at a potential dig at Mikel Arteta, who used the Belgian as a rotation option at best, playing more in the Europa League group stages than he did in the Premier League.
