Arsenal are in talks with Crystal Palace over a loan move for Albert Sambi Lokonga, football.london understands.
The Gunners have agreed a £12million deal with Chelsea to bring in Jorginho on transfer deadline day after missing out on top target Moises Caicedo from Brighton. With Arsenal out of both domestic cups this means that Lokonga, who hasn't featured in a Premier League match since October, will likely see his game time cut even further.
Arsenal are keen to ensure the Belgian international can get a regular run of football to find his form again after a difficult few months at the Emirates Stadium. Palace are keen to bring Lokonga in where he will work with Gunners legend Patrick Vieira.
