Arsenal midfielder Albert Sambi Lokonga is undergoing a medical ahead of completing a loan move to Crystal Palace, football.london understands.
It was revealed this morning that the two London clubs had opened talks with regard to a temporary deal until the end of the season and an announcement shouldn't be too far away once the 23-year-old successfully completes a medical and all the formalities are taken care of by all parties.
Lokonga - who was a substitute against Manchester City in the FA Cup fourth-round tie last Friday - hasn't played much under Mikel Arteta this season and a switch to Selhurst Park should increase his game time as well as the opportunity to work under Gunners legend Patrick Vieira.
