Albert Sambi Lokonga has hinted that he'd like to permanently play in the more advanced role as a box-to-box or attacking midfielder rather than in defensive midfield where he was deployed last season.
It comes as Arsenal are being heavily linked with a player in the aforementioned box-to-box, or number 8, midfielder in Leicester City's Youri Tielemans. football.london understands that Arsenal remain interested in the player, but no bid has yet gone in at this point.
It would be a signing that could hinder Lokonga's development and game time at Arsenal, but it's one that he seemingly is unfazed by - welcoming the competition for places - something he knew when he signed for the Gunners.
